The top local stories this morning from the ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôºroom:

will determine whether a lawsuit to remove Dallas County District Attorney Susan Hawk from office will go forward.

Hawk took a leave of absence last summer to receive treatment for depression and returned to work in the fall. She’s also been criticized for firing key employees since she took office last January.

The lawsuit against Hawk alleges she should be removed from office for incompetency and misconduct.
