A Message to the Citizens of Austin County:
Welcome to the Austin County District Attorney's website.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott appointed me to serve as Criminal District Attorney of Austin County. I took the oath of office on April 24, 2025 before State Senator Lois Kolkhorst.
Since 2005, I have been proud to serve Austin County as a prosecutor in the District Attorney’s Office. A Texas prosecutor’s greatest duty is “not to convict, but to see that justice is done.” I am honored to continue that duty as Austin County’s District Attorney.
As Criminal District Attorney, I am responsible for overseeing the prosecution of all criminal offenses that occur in Austin County. The greatest responsibilities I have are to respect the rights of all citizens, to defend the Constitution, and to whole-heartedly pursue justice and safety for everyone in our community.
These responsibilities are shared by all the members of my hard-working, competent, and motivated staff.
Should you have any specific questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I am here to serve you.
Regards,
Brandy Robinson
