Texas HB4006 establishes procedures for the suspension and removal of district attorneys, criminal district attorneys, or county attorneys in Texas. The governor may suspend an attorney who violates the duty to follow and execute state laws. The suspension takes effect upon filing a petition in a district court. The governor must also make a provisional appointment to temporarily fill the vacancy. A trial by jury must follow, with the county attorney representing the state unless the county attorney is the one being tried, in which case an adjoining county's attorney will represent the state.
