Texas Attorney General

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.

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.

The State Bar of Texas sued to punish the Texas Attorney General two years ago over false claims of fraud in the 2020 election.

The May 24 runoff features several high-profile contests for statewide offices, including Republican and Democratic runoffs for attorney general and the state’s land commissioner.

Cornyn is the most prominent Texas Republican to criticize the attorney general’s rocky record ahead of the runoff election against George P. Bush.

Paxton has been under indictment on state securities fraud charges since before his last reelection. Meanwhile, the Bush name appears to have become a liability for the land commissioner.

Even if you didn't vote in the March primary, you can still vote in the runoff — and your vote might have a bigger impact.

After Paxton said the lawsuit was politically motivated, the attorney general announced his office is investigating a state bar’s nonprofit arm for allegedly aiding “a mass influx” of undocumented immigrants.

Voters in Texas can decide on several local ballot initiatives — plus two constitutional amendments — on May 7 before heading back to the polls on May 24 for primary runoff elections.

The two-term incumbent, beset by a criminal indictment and FBI probe, will face Bush, the state’s land commissioner and scion of a political dynasty, in the May 24 runoff.
