Kaufman County

In June 2009, Kaufman County District Attorney Rick Harrison was arrested in Seagoville after driving the wrong way down a street and hitting another car.

It would become his second conviction for DWI, following one in 1994 when he was a Dallas County prosecutor.

Bill Baker, the Kaufman County GOP chairman, called for Harrison, a fellow Republican, to resign.

“We all make mistakes, but it was to the point where myself and others involved in the party felt that he was not a good representative of the party,” Baker said in an interview Tuesday.

He said the governor’s office and the state GOP had no involvement.

“We just felt like it was a local issue,” Baker said.

Swisher County

In November 2002, Swisher County District Attorney Terry McEachern was arrested in New Mexico after a family called police to report him swerving into oncoming traffic and running off the shoulder of the road.

He failed a field sobriety test and refused a breath test.

He was found guilty of aggravated DWI in June the next year and sentenced to two days in jail and a $300 fine.

McEachern was already under fire as the prosecutor in the notorious Tulia drug busts. The drug sting, aimed primarily at Tulia’s black residents, unraveled after questions were raised about the sole undercover agent. The agent was subsequently convicted of perjury.

Perry issued pardons for the 46 people a few months after McEachern’s DWI arrest.
