Ken Paxton

Sunrise Homeless Navigation Center said the attorney general's lawsuit could have a chilling effect on nonprofits that provide services in Austin.

The state ethics commission passed new transparency rules after The Texas Newsroom reported that Attorney General Ken Paxton had not disclosed information about several properties he or his blind trust owns.

Sunrise Homeless Navigation Center has provided care for a variety of needs, including food and health care assistance, since 2015. The lawsuit accuses the nonprofit of being a "common nuisance" to the neighborhood.

Travis County commissioners agreed to spend $115,000 on security for him. Garza said the security was recommended by county staff and assessments by law enforcement and an outside contractor.

Texas Republicans reaffirmed their overwhelming control of the state legislature in Tuesday’s election. But a crop of fresh Republican faces in the Texas House could have big implications for the balance of power in the chamber, including the state’s ongoing battle over school vouchers.

The Republican has a fraught relationship with the national group that issued the letter. Indiana and Montana also did not sign on.

The statement from Paxton "corrects falsehoods" from critics who say death row inmate Robert Roberson was unjustifiably convicted in the death of his toddler child.

Attorney General Ken Paxton accused the federal government of failing to provide citizenship data for registered voters, even as he acknowledged that the vast majority of the people on the rolls are lawful voters.

What Paxton will do if the federal government is unable to confirm the citizenship status of some of the voters on that list is unclear. Under federal law, the state can no longer remove people from the voter rolls because it is less than 90 days before a federal election.

The attorney general is requesting that the Texas secretary of state cross reference individuals who are registered to vote but don't have a state ID or driver's license.
