The Texas Attorney General 's Office

The main goal of this community is to help the attorneys do their part in the criminal justice system. Prosecutors are there to advocate for the victim and defense attorneys are there to advocate for the defendant. But the attorneys don't do this alone, they have the support of their paralegals and other support staff to help them get their cases together.

Congress and the state legislative pass laws that align to the U.S. Constitution. However, the laws enacted are general provisions that do not explain how they should be used. Thus, administrative agencies such as federal, state, and local agencies are required to detail the policies and regulations of the statutes. As a result, the rules and regulations established by the agency are known as administrative laws. Administrative laws affect the daily interaction of the K-12 education system. Educators need to be cognizant of these laws because it ensures a successful learning environment for all students. Moreover, the laws provide guidelines in assisting students who have unique characteristics such as English Learners (ELs).

Texas is the second most populous state as well as the second largest state in the United States of America (Brown, Langenegger, Garcia, Lewis, & Biles, 2014). With a huge number of people currently calling Texas their home, it would make sense to draw the conclusion that the Texas government must make this state a great place to live by serving its citizens to the best of its abilities. However, it is best not to make assumptions and in order to ascertain whether the local government actually fulfills this role we must look at multiple aspects of the government.

The relationship between a governor and its elected or appointed bureaucrats are important for a state bureaucracy. It is very likely that most – if not, all bureaucracies share the common agreement: that the executive and legislative bodies must work together fairly with state agencies to reach their goal, which is to establish, control, and enforce certain policies that help create a perfect society. However, in the bureaucracy of the state of Texas, that goal seems to be unachievable. There are two articles that exploits the struggles between the state’s agencies and the state legislature. One explains the issue of budgetary powers for a Texas governor, and the other describes the frustration of authority between the Texas legislative lawmakers and one powerful state agency. There seems to be a fragmentation within the Texas bureaucracy, which can be rooted to the “Plural Executive” form of government that’s established in the state’s constitution, and the influence of interest groups on the state legislature.

The Texas General Land Office or TGLO, has many responsibilities throughout the state of Texas. Their main responsibility is to earn funds for the Permanent School Fund. The main way that they raise money for this goal is by leasing out the land that has been set aside for this purpose. The Texas General Land Office has around 700,000 acres for this purpose. This land is usually leased for the production of oil and gas, development of commercial property, agriculture and renewable energy projects. This fund was created to raise money for Texas schools and was created when Texas became a country in 1836.

A criminal defense attorney is a lawyer that is specialized in the defense of those who are charged with criminal conduct. Defense attorneys deal with the surrounding issues of an arrest of their clients, and the substantive issues of a crime that he or she is charged. In the United States, each individual who is brought to trail is eligible for a defense attorney, according to the sixth amendment. If an individual cannot afford an attorney, one is a pointed by the courts; these individuals are called public defenders who are employed by the government. The duties of a defense attorney, is to advocate and advice. In order, for the defense attorney to work effectively, the defendant must supply all the facts and information surrounding the case. Moreover, the defendant is protected by attorney- client privilege. Thus, any exchange information concerning the case is private and protected under the law. The criminal defense attorney role is to assist the courts with the truth-seeking process by presentation an oral argument in favor of defendant innocence. The average case calls to “advocate with courage and devotion and to render effective, quality representation” (Flower, Page 650, paragraph one). The misconceptions of a defense attorney are that she or he performs duties begrudgingly whether or not the attorney believes in the innocents of the client.

In Texas local governments play a major role in the wellbeing and safety of its citizens. In each county of Texas there are an average of about 19 general purpose governments, that means that all the county general purpose local governments combined would be more than 4,800. In the United States of America all but two states have governmental units known as counties or parishes. County government is primarily a way of governing rural areas, because Texas is so vast, with huge areas that are sparsely populated, county government remains an important aspect of local government. County governments in rural areas do not actually have the ability to govern themselves, they act more as an extension of state government.
