A new law I signed will help reign in rogue district attorneys.

Those who want to work in Texas law enforcement must uphold the laws and protect Texans.

If not, they will be held accountable.

This bill allows for residents of Texas to call for the removal of district attorneys who refuse to prosecute a class or type of criminal offense by filing a petition.

This bill was a response to left-wing district attorneys who vowed not to enforce abortion bans after the overturning of Roe V. Wade in the summer of 2022, according to Fox News.

The bill also expands the definition of “official misconduct” for which a district attorney can be removed from office.

[I suspect that this law will prove popular in other states where conservative executives need to deal with politicized city/county DAs. And it should. — Ed]
