The ramifications of Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg's driving while intoxicated arrest and conviction continue to ripple outward.

Two civil suits to remove her from office are plodding towards trial; a criminal investigation continues into her conduct in jail; and another criminal investigation will soon launch into Gov. Rick Perry's veto of funding for the Travis County DA's Public Integrity Unit. Meanwhile, efforts in the Legislature to restore the unit's funding will probably fail, passing the funding burden to Travis County.
