Texas Attorney General Opinion
A district attorney pro tem appointed prior to September 1, 2019, shall be compensated according to a fee schedule stating reasonable fixed rates or minimum and maximum hourly rates, and awards outside of those parameters is invalid. An attorney assisting in a case prior to the district attorney’s recusal serves in the capacity of a special prosecutor, rather than an attorney pro tem.
