Odds are he won't be prosecuted for it now either

Point of information please:
A friend sent me an article (https://www.informationliberation.com/?id=63540) which includes the following statement:
"The hero customer who shot and killed an armed robber at a Houston taco joint last week has been ordered to face a grand jury by District Attorney Kim Ogg, the Soros-funded prosecutor who appears to have let the career criminal he put down out on bond."
Can anyone here definitively tell me whether in fact
a) the District Attorney is who decides to send a case to a grand jury; and
b) the District Attorney is who decides to release a criminal on bond?
Thanks, that answers part a).All homicides in Texas go to a grand jury
When a website calls itself “information liberation” I don’t have to click to know it’s a fringe advocacy or rage bait site of some sort.Point of information please:

It's not a site I've ever visited in the past or plan to visit again.When a website calls itself “information liberation” I don’t have to click to know it’s a fringe advocacy or rage bait site of some sort.

I don’t know about Texas, but the judge sets bail here. The prosecution recommends an amount the defense usually asks for a lower amount or no bail. The judge decides.It's not a site I've ever visited in the past or plan to visit again.
I would still like an answer to question b).

If she recommended recog, I doubt the defense would object and in my experience the judge usually goes along with that.Thanks. So however disgusting the DA may be, she is not the person responsible for BG being out on bond.
The whole reason I posted the quote was that it seemed very tendentious.
Oh, so then she could be responsible, just not the person who signed the order.If she recommended recog, I doubt the defense would object and in my experience the judge usually goes along with that.

Understand that this "Soros funded prosecutor" is there not because Ms. Ogg is much of a representation of Harris County's residents but because she got swept in when Republicans stayed home in droves angry about RINO John Culberson. He lost his seat quite deservedly but there was a lot of collateral damage.
If you are saying that violent criminals are sometimes not brough to jusice, you are right--but thta is not the topic here.I feel that the laws in question have been perverted.
The murderous career criminal is treated leniently, no matter what laws that he breaks and how many people are harmed.
What "leniency" should he be afforded?The shooter is very unlikely to see such leniency... .
