AUSTIN (KXAN) -- The Travis County District Attorney has offered a deal to indicted State Rep. Dawnna Dukes, D-Austin. Prosecutors say they will drop the corruption charges if Dukes resigns and submits to a drug and alcohol test, along with possible treatment, and pays a fine of $3,000 in relation to her alleged lesser crimes. She has until Tuesday to take the deal.

This comes as two of her lawyers want out. Houston lawyers Shaun Clarke and Dane Ball have asked the presiding judge to withdraw from a case. In a written request filed on July 25 to make Matt Shrum--the lone Austin attorney representing Dukes--lead counsel. They "have been unable to effectively communicate with the defendant on matters essential to the representation," wrote Clarke and Ball.

The drug and alcohol test request came up after Dukes made public comments about continuing to use morphine after a 2013 car crash.

"Number one, she leaves office, number one. Because she's betrayed the public trust. Number two is, if there are problems there, she address them," Travis County District Attorney Margaret Moore told KXAN.

If Dukes doesn't get back to Moore by close of business Tuesday, her case will go to trial in October. Dukes faces a trial on 15 charges -- 13 felonies -- in October for corruption, tampering with public records, and misusing state resources.

KXAN reached out to Dukes and her remaining Austin lawyer and have not yet heard back for an on-the-record response, or an interview. However, Dukes did post to Facebook just before 6 p.m. stating the recent developments amount to a "character assassination" and that it would be "indecorous" of her to respond to "impertinent allegations."

"While I appreciate any benevolent concern about my health, there is little need to speculate," continued Dukes on her Facebook post.

As part of the deal, Dukes would also have to pay back $3,000 of taxpayer money prosecutors claim she spent on personal needs. She'll also have to pay a $500 fine to the Texas Ethics Commission for misreporting information. As of now, Dukes is still considering a run for re-election next year.

On the House floor Monday, a statement was read stating Dukes was excused from House business Monday, as she "has important business to attend to in her district."

The first indictment includes 13 felony charges on the offense of tampering with a governmental record. The DA's Ofice says these charges are based on allegations that Dukes made false entries on 13 different occasions on Stae of Texas travel vouchers, in order to obtain reimbursement for expenses to which she was not legally entitled. Dukes' original attorney Shaun Clarke says the charges accuse his client of claiming a reimbursement in the amount of $61.50 to which she allegedly was not entitled; the 13 counts total $799.50.

Two separate indictments were for misdemeanor offenses of abuse of official capacity by a public servant. The charges relate to allegations that Dukes misused public funds for her personal gain, and that she converted campaign funds to personal use.
