What does this office do?
The Cooke County District Attorney is the lawyer’s office that represents the State of Texas in felony criminal cases from Cooke County. Felonies are the more serious crimes, such as major drug cases, burglary, robbery, sexual assault, or murder. The office reviews evidence from law enforcement, decides how to move a case forward, and presents cases in court.
The district attorney is not the judge and does not decide guilt or innocence. The office can negotiate plea agreements, take cases to trial, ask for certain punishments, and work with victims during the process. Lower-level misdemeanors in Cooke County are generally handled by the County Attorney, not the District Attorney.
