Reigning in "rogue" District Attorneys
State leaders have expressed concern over some Texas District Attorneys "announcing" that there are some state laws they just won't prosecute in their jurisdiction. House Bill 17 would allow citizens from a given jurisdiction - Travis County for instance - to file a "removal petition" against the district attorney...and have that claim heard by an outside judge. The proposal passed by the Texas House lists as actionable misconduct "categorically refusing to prosecute criminal offenses under state law"..
