Relating to the attorney general's defense of a district or county attorney against certain lawsuits in federal court.

HB 2460 would require the Texas Attorney General to defend district or county attorneys in federal lawsuits when they are sued in their official capacity, the case involves enforcing state law, and the local attorney requests assistance. This bill directly affects district and county attorneys who face federal lawsuits related to their enforcement of state statutes. The law would only apply to federal cases filed on or after September 1, 2025, not cases filed before that date. It does not change existing legal standards but adds a specific defense obligation for the Attorney General in qualifying cases.
