Texas HB204 sets a salary cap for state prosecutors, aligning it with district judge salaries, with exceptions for certain districts.
Texas HB204 amends the Government Code to limit the total annual salary of state prosecutors from state and county sources. This cap aligns with the maximum combined base salary for district judges with comparable years of service. The bill excludes district attorneys in judicial districts with counties having populations under 400,000 from this salary cap. If a prosecutor's total salary exceeds the cap, the comptroller will reduce the state portion of the salary to meet the limit. The changes take effect on September 1, 2025.
