Relating to the application of the professional prosecutors law to the county attorney of Fayette County.

HB 4266 updates Texas law to specifically include Fayette County's county attorney under the Professional Prosecutors Law. Currently, county attorneys in certain counties (like Fayette) who perform district attorney duties are not covered by this law, but this bill adds Fayette County to the list of counties where county attorneys fall under the same professional standards as other prosecutors. The change applies to the county attorney's role in criminal prosecutions, ensuring they meet the same qualifications and oversight requirements as district attorneys in other counties. This amendment takes effect September 1, 2025.
