TDCAA has received a question regarding prosecution of "registrant[s] or dispenser[s]" who knowingly violate certain regulations listed in 481.128 of the Health and Safety Code. Any assistance with the issue would be appreciated.

Part (e) of that statute provides that "A district attorney of the county where the act occured may file suit in district court in that county to collect a civil penalty under this section, or the district attorney of Travis county or the attorney general may file suit in district court in Travis County to collect the penalty."

Does anyone here have experience prosecuting such a case? If so, how did you go about it?
