Ken Paxton

Republican Ken Paxton is dedicating more resources to ensure the election is secure despite no evidence of widespread voter fraud in Texas.

As dozens of legal battles play out, Texas parents have found themselves caught in confusion about whether their children have to mask up at school.

Gov. Greg Abbott and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton have long threatened to sue school districts that defy Abbott’s ban on local mask mandates. On Friday, Paxton made good on that threat.

Those districts include several border school districts including La Joya, Brownsville and Hidalgo ISDs — as well as districts in the state’s larger metropolitan areas that later joined the lawsuit, including Houston, Austin and Dallas.

The Texas Supreme Court denied a request from Attorney General Ken Paxton to block a Travis County judge's temporary restraining orders that allow some local mask mandates.

The Texas Supreme Court has denied a request from Attorney General Ken Paxton to include other counties in its ruling Sunday that temporarily halts mask mandates in Dallas and Bexar counties.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is prosecuting Hervis Rogers, who allegedly voted before his parole ended. Paxton has made prosecuting alleged cases of voter fraud a core mission of his office.

Kayleigh Lovvorn Date was a press aide to Attorney General Ken Paxton. She says other staffers making visits to the Texas-Mexico border had been provided security details and protective gear.

Bush made his challenge official Wednesday evening during an event at a downtown Austin bar. Former President Donald Trump said last week that he would issue an endorsement in the race "in the not-so-distant future."

The attorney general had argued the case wasn’t moot and asked the court to prevent Austin and Travis — or other local authorities — from issuing similar orders in the future. The court refused.
