Description of Office: County Attorney
~ From Texas Association of Counties ~
Effective enforcement of the law requires the sure-handed expertise of a knowledgeable prosecutor.
The main duties of the county attorney is to represent the state in
criminal cases. The county attorney works with law enforcement officers
in the investigation and preparation of cases to be heard before the
criminal courts. When requested in writing, the county attorney provides
legal counsel to county officers.
The overwhelming importance of the office of public prosecutors
arises from the fact that upon the prosecuting attorney rests the power
of determining whether prosecution in any given case shall be
inaugurated or, if inaugurated, pushed to a successful conclusion.
Other duties include prosecution of juvenile offenders,
representation of victims of violence in protective orders and
representing the Texas Department of Protective & Regulatory
services in removing children from abusive households.
