The State Bar accused Paxton in 2022 of falsely claiming he had substantial evidence that raised doubts on Joe Biden’s win in four battleground states.
A Dallas appeals court ruled Friday that Attorney General Ken Paxton can face disciplinary action for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. A three-judge panel on the 5th Court of Appeals rejected Paxton’s argument that he is immune from punishment because he was acting in his official capacity; public officials are generally shielded from lawsuits. The court ruled that the case was instead against Paxton in his personal capacity.
Texas State Bar complaint moves forward against AG Ken Paxton over attempt to overturn 2020 election “It is against Paxton in his capacity as a Texas-licensed lawyer and an officer of the legal system,” wrote Justice Erin A.
