Despite having an office of hundreds of attorneys, Ken Paxton is frequently opting for private lawyers — many to whom he has personal or political ties — to argue on behalf of Texas.

The taxpayers of Texas are being grifted?!?

Who could have predicted…

@ProPublica@newsie.social that's the way the NCGOP captured lawyers and law firms here. It was the first thing they did before assaulting voting rights in 2013.

Ken Paxton is a criminal, who should be removed from office.

@ProPublica@newsie.social Ken Paxton is corrupt to the bone. When a criminal runs the government, they have a sense of impunity.
