Relating to the appointment, duties, and removal of the state prosecuting attorney.

SB 1367 clarifies the role of Texas's state prosecuting attorney, who is appointed by the Texas Supreme Court and represents the state in criminal cases. The bill requires the attorney to represent the state in all proceedings before the Court of Criminal Appeals, may represent the state in appeals court cases when necessary, and can handle criminal cases involving election law violations in district courts. It also allows the Supreme Court to remove the attorney for cause and includes a funding provision that delays mandatory implementation of new duties until appropriations are made, with this exception ending in 2029. These changes apply only to attorneys appointed on or after September 1, 2025.
