§ 21.031. REMOVAL BY CRIMINAL CONVICTION.  (a) The 
conviction of an officer for any felony or for a misdemeanor 
involving official misconduct operates as an immediate removal from 
office.
	(b)  The court rendering judgment in the case shall include 
in the judgment an order removing the officer.
	(c)  If the removed officer appeals the judgment, the appeal 
supersedes the order of removal unless the court that renders the 
judgment finds that it is in the public interest to suspend the 
removed officer pending the appeal.  If the court finds that the 
public interest requires suspension, the court shall suspend the 
removed officer as provided by this subchapter.
