"The Executive Department of the State shall consist of a Governor, who shall be the Chief Executive Officer of the State, a Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Comptroller of Public Accounts, Commissioner of the General Land Office, and Attorney General." - Texas Constitution Article 4, Section 1.
Abbott doesn't have the authority to get rid of the office. The proper way to get rid of Jorge Pendejo Arbusto's office is to amend the Texas Constitution.
However, be careful what you wish for...
The Texas Attorney General is currently under indictment for alleged securities fraud. If he leaves office, my hunch is Pendejo will be pushed to become the next Texas AG.
I was aware of the constitutional restrictions. Just incredibly upset that GPB was ever elected and even more so since he is AWOL and nobody seems to be saying anything about it.
George P being AG in Texas would be among the worst things that could ever happen to Texas.
