El Paso County District Attorney Yvonne Rosales resigns effective Dec. 14th

The breaking news via El Paso Matters:

El Paso District Attorney Yvonne Rosales resigned on Monday after less than two years in office, ending a turbulent tenure that saw her facing a trial that could have led to her removal from office.

The resignation is effective on Dec. 14, the day before a hearing that could have led to her suspension from her job until the conclusion of the removal effort. A jury trial had been set for March 2023 on whether to remove Rosales from office.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott will appoint a replacement to serve out the remainder of Rosales’ term, which runs through the end of 2024.
