Art. 52.09. COSTS AND ATTORNEY'S FEES. (a) All costs
incurred in conducting a Court of Inquiry, including compensation
of an attorney pro tem, shall be borne by the county in which said
Court of Inquiry is conducted; provided, however, that where the
Attorney General of Texas has submitted a request in writing to the
judge for the holding of such Court of Inquiry, then and in that
event the costs shall be borne by the State of Texas and shall be
taxed to the attorney general and paid in the same manner and from
the same funds as other court costs.
(b) Assistance by a county or district attorney to a Court
of Inquiry is a duty of the attorney's office, and the attorney may
not receive a fee for the service. A county is not liable for
attorney's fees claimed for assistance in a Court of Inquiry by any
attorney other than an attorney pro tem appointed under Article
52.01(d) of this code.
(c) An attorney pro tem appointed under Article 52.01(d) of
this code is entitled to compensation in the same manner as an
attorney pro tem appointed under Article 2.07 of this code. The
district judge shall set the compensation of the attorney pro tem
based on the sworn testimony of the attorney or other evidence that
is given in open court.
