What the Texas attorney general does
The attorney general is Texas's chief legal officer: the office represents the state in litigation, defends state law, approves public bond issues, issues authorized legal opinions, and administers other duties assigned by law.
Shared authority: The attorney general does not prosecute every crime or control every state legal matter alone. Local prosecutors, referring agencies, courts, and the Legislature have separate roles.
How FactVote presents the public record: FactVote includes official legal filings, actions, and direct statements only when the source explicitly attributes them to the officeholder. An office result is not restated as personal work without that attribution.
