Polk County First Assistant District Attorney Michael Davis, 64, turned himself in to the Jasper County Jail on Thursday, authorities said.
This comes after a grand jury in Montgomery County indicted him on the charge on Tuesday, according to records.
According to court documents, Davis installed a tracking device on a person's car in September 2025, which is a Class A misdemeanor in Texas.
According to Davis' attorney, Steve Jackson, the victim is a woman Davis was dating, but added that she has been vocal about not wanting Davis prosecuted.
"This is a situation that we believe should not have gotten this far," Jackson said in a statement. "We have a complainant that does not want this prosecuted and who has been vocal about this for many months."
Jackson also called the whole thing a misunderstanding but said his client "understands that a person in his position can be perceived to be held to a higher standard than others."
According to officials, the Texas Rangers are investigating the incident.
