Ken Paxton

Dan Cogdell, who represented Paxton for nearly a decade in two high-profile cases, said his former client “has lost sight of his core mission.”

Democrat James Talarico took his senate battle to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's home base Monday night, speaking to a crowd of thousands in Collin County.

Soon after winning the Texas Republican Senate primary runoff, Ken Paxton attacked Democratic nominee, state Rep. James Talarico as "too low-T for Texas," putting manhood front and center in the race.

Paxton, the Trump-endorsed Texas attorney general, will face Austin state Rep. James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for Senate, in November's general election.

The judge in the case insisted on a 60-day jail sentence. The controversy has roiled Texas politics and led critics to question the attorney general's ability to adequately prosecute crime.

The Republican president had repeatedly teased his intention to endorse a candidate in the race, starting soon after Ken Paxton and John Cornyn emerged as the remaining contenders from the first round of primary voting in March.

A state district judge ruled in favor with Bexar County in a legal fight over the county’s immigrant legal services program.

Cornyn is seeking Texas Republicans’ nomination for a fifth term, in a contest that has seen bitter and expensive attacks on all sides. A new poll shows Paxton pulling away from Cornyn, but with no candidate leading by enough to avoid a runoff.

Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) filed a lawsuit Wednesday against Bexar County for funding immigration legal defense against federal deportation proceedings.

A group of eight media organizations had requested records in the divorce case between Paxton, who is running for U.S. Senate, and his wife be made public.
