Paxton is temporarily suspended from office pending the outcome of a trial in the Texas Senate that is set to begin no later than Aug. 28.
The "jury" will be the members of the 31-seat Senate; one of them, Paxton's wife, Sen. Angela Paxton, has not said whether she will recuse herself.
Among the 20 articles of impeachment are accusations that Paxton used the power of his office to help Paul over unproven claims of an elaborate conspiracy to steal $200 million of the developer's properties. The FBI searched Paul's home in 2019, but he has not been charged and his attorneys have denied wrongdoing.
