Yeah they are not going to get any he pardon overturned. If the DA wants to hold him accountable he will need to charge him with a new set of crimes to be charged for

Texas law / Constitution is somewhat specific here. IIRC but the Governor has to wait until the Board of Pardons recommends a Pardon. I believe that was done in this case. He did tell the Board he wanted to pardon Perry, but I don't think he has formal authority ove rthem. I could be wrong.
