Ruling against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a state appeals court declined to dismiss a State Bar of Texas ethics complaint accusing Paxton of dishonesty when he sought to overturn then-President Donald Trump’s 2020 election defeats in four swing states.

Subjecting Paxton to disciplinary proceedings does not violate separation of powers; immunizing him does, Justice Erin Nowell wrote for the majority.

A Texas appeals court rules the Republican attorney general can face discipline from the state bar association for trying to help overturn the 2020 presidential election.

A Texas appeals court ruled Thursday that the state bar could punish Attorney General Ken Paxton for attempting to overturn the 2020 election.

The Texas Attorney General posted on social media that he "stands with Trump" but didn't make clear whether he is in NYC for official state business or simply to attend the trial.

The Texas Bar's disciplinary committee sued the attorney general in 2022 over his failed attempt to block Joe Biden’s election win at the U.S. Supreme Court.

"Subjecting Paxton to disciplinary proceedings does not violate separation of powers; immunizing him does," the justices wrote in contrast to the brief.
