The Texas Attorney General (AG) is a unique position. It is a statewide elected post carrying a four-year term with no limits to the time of service. Article 4, Section 22 of the Texas Constitution along with amendments and laws give the AG the power to assist in enforcing child support, antitrust actions, Medicaid fraud investigation, victim compensation, consumer protection, and civil actions concerning insurance, banking, and securities.
There are other statutory powers given to the AG but two important tasks stick out. One is to deliver opinions-an interpretation of the Texas and/or U.S. Constitution(s), statutes, or administrative rules. As the state’s top lawyer, the AG has a client to advise. So in this capacity, the AG may interpret laws or state a conflict exists with laws or the constitution(s). The opinions are not legally binding but they carry great weight. For instance, if state officials ignore the opinions, the AG will not defend them in court.
