Brett W. Ligon

There are no reported scandals, corruption allegations, fraud, bribery, indictments, charges, convictions, or ethics violations concerning Brett W. Ligon. In 2013, Ligon was involved in a legal dispute where a trial court disqualified him and his office from prosecuting two misdemeanor cases because he was the alleged victim named in the charging instruments. The Texas Ninth Court of Appeals upheld the trial court's decision, ruling that the "actual and obvious structural conflict" posed by his dual role as district attorney and complaining witness presented an intolerable potential to compromise the fundamental fairness of the proceedings.
