Rosemary Lehmberg (born c. 1949) is a former District Attorney of Travis County, which includes the capital city of Austin, Texas. She began working in the District Attorney's office in 1976.[1] She headed many Divisions of the DA's office, establishing the Travis County Children's Advocacy Center, and was called "The Best Lawyer for Children's Issues" by The Austin Chronicle.[2] In 2009, she became the first female District Attorney in Travis County.[3] Lehmberg served eight years as Travis County’s district attorney before retiring in January 2017.[4]
In 2013, she was arrested for and pleaded guilty to drunk driving. She was sentenced to forty-five days in jail.[5] According to Lehmberg's lawyer, David Sheppard, Lehmberg's sentence was "without doubt the harshest sentence anyone has ever received for first time DWI" in Travis County.[6] Video of her detainment and extremely inebriated and aggressive behavior was released to the public. Governor Rick Perry demanded Lehmberg's resignation, and stated that if she did not step down, he would use his line-item veto power to cut all funding to the Public Accountability Office, which is under Lehmberg's authority. Lehmberg refused, and Governor Perry vetoed the office's funding. Perry was indicted for this action but was later cleared of all charges.[citation needed]
