The Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office shared and confirmed today by email that District Attorney Brett Ligon has announced his resignation as Montgomery County District Attorney, effective immediately.
In his resignation letters to Montgomery County Judge Mark Keough and Governor Abbott (view below), Mr. Ligon reflected on the honor of serving the community in this capacity, stating, “Of all the roles I have held as an attorney, serving as District Attorney has been the most rewarding, as it has allowed me the privilege of making an immediate and meaningful difference in the lives of others.”
