201.275 INVESTIGATIONS; PROSECUTIONS.
(a)A law enforcement agency that is notified by affidavit of an alleged violation of this chapter must promptly investigate. Upon receiving an affidavit alleging a violation of this chapter, a county attorney must promptly forward it to a law enforcement agency with jurisdiction for investigation.

A county attorney who refuses or intentionally fails to faithfully perform this or any other duty imposed by this chapter is guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction must forfeit office.
(b)Willful violation of this chapter by any public employee constitutes just cause for suspension without pay or dismissal of the public employee.
