HB 4957 grants the Texas Attorney General the duty to prosecute criminal offenses related to election laws if a local prosecutor does not act within six months of receiving a law enforcement report establishing probable cause. The bill requires law enforcement agencies to notify both the local prosecutor and the Attorney General when reporting potential election-related crimes. It also allows the Attorney General to direct county or district attorneys to prosecute these cases or assist in prosecutions​.
