Do you think Lehmberg would have fared better if she had that card to pull?
I'd say she got a pretty good deal considering she didn't even have to pull that card and she still kept her job.

Sec. 36.03. COERCION OF PUBLIC SERVANT OR VOTER. (a) A person commits an offense if by means of coercion he:
(1) influences or attempts to influence a public servant in a specific exercise of his official power or a specific performance of his official duty or influences or attempts to influence a public servant to violate the public servant's known legal duty; or
(2) influences or attempts to influence a voter not to vote or to vote in a particular manner.
(b) An offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor unless the coercion is a threat to commit a felony, in which event it is a felony of the third degree.
(c) It is an exception to the application of Subsection (a)(1) of this section that the person who influences or attempts to influence the public servant is a member of the governing body of a governmental entity, and that the action that influences or attempts to influence the public servant is an official action taken by the member of the governing body. For the purposes of this subsection, the term "official action" includes deliberations by the governing body of a governmental entity.
Veto power has nothing to do with that statue.
My god you're a moron.

And if it had been Rick Perry in the drunk tank instead he would have said "Do you know who I am? I'll yank every cent of state funding from your department unless you release me".
I doubt it, but if so he would have been forced to resign with zero supporters here or anywhere.

The unfathomably drunk DA threatened all the public servants in the various videos posted (and therefore, ignored by you) that they would suffer consequences for arresting her and attempted to coerce them into dereliction of their duties based on her position of power.
Which of her threats did she make good on?

It doesn't have to. The statute covers any and all forms of coercion. It makes no specific requirements other than that.

Forced to resign by the President threatening to veto funding to Texas? Yeah I'm sure the right wing would have 100% supported OBama on that one.

You just can't be THIS f*cking stupid.
It's absolutely f*cking impossible.

She's an elected official. No one has the authority to fire her but the voters. Rick Perry doesn't get that.

She doesn't have to make good on it you fricking idiot. The very law you repeatedly posted says that a threat or attempt is sufficient. Good god.

Is the answer zero?

It does. Rick Perry should direct the attorney general to make sure she is prosecuted for it. Its certainly possible a jury could be convinced the threats made by someone in a drunken rage and never followed up on at all were intentional. Go for it. In the mean time it looks like the guy who made the threat 100% sober and who followed up on the threat 100% will be prosecuted first.
(Though if you ask me state governors and the President should be immune from criminal prosecution while in office, so long as they waive the statue of limitations during their term. Impeachment and removal when crimes by a governor or President must be addressed before his term is up)

He threaten to veto ~8 million dollars in funding as quid pro quo for a resignation of an elected official and made good on the very same threat.
The yanked funding directly impacted an investigation into millions in fishy grants of one of Perry's pet projects the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas. The DWI was an incredibly fortunate coincidence for Perry, as he was able to effectively squash investigation into his corruption (so he thought).

Unfortunately for him it has to do with subsection (c), which is why Perry walks.
