A change in the structure of the District Attorney's office is being considered. Commissioners' Court is looking at moving part of the civil division into a new office. This new office would report directly to the court, rather than the incoming District Attorney.

This potential change could impact the power of the next District Attorney. The current District Attorney is Joe Gonzales, and the next one may have less authority. Further details about this proposal are available from the source.

The consideration of this change was first reported on September 1, 2026. More information can be found through the original article.
