Travis County is the ass of Texas.
I personally have believed for years now that secretive grand juries - in many cases and situations - leave much to be desired, regardless of the political party of the person involved, etc, etc.
Given Travis County is the venue for actions against the state of Texas and Texas officials, it seems logical that the DA and judges of Travis county should be subject to state wide election or appointed by the Governor.
It is largely populated with them too!
