The El Paso County Attorney said Tuesday she will ask for a trial to remove the border city’s top prosecutor based on allegations of incompetence and misconduct.
El Paso County District Attorney Yvonne Rosales passes out flyers at the El Paso National Night Out on Tuesday, Oct. 4, 2022., our daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.
This summer, with chaos swirling around Rosales, a defense attorney who represented the freed murder defendant filed a court petition to trigger a rarely used process that can remove local elected officials from office for incompetence or misconduct before their terms expire. In September, a judge signed off on the petition, forcing Bernal to decide whether or not to take the matter to trial. The visiting judge, Tryon D. Lewis from Odessa, could also suspend Rosales and appoint a temporary replacement as the case proceeds, though he has not yet done so. In her response, Rosales denied all of the claims of incompetence and misconduct, and argued the statute allowing removal of local officials is itself unconstitutional.
