Texas Bar Commission Withdraws Case Against Attorney General Ken Paxton amidst Ongoing Legal Battles

The disciplinary proceedings against Ken Paxton, Texas Attorney General, took a surprising turn as the Commission for Lawyer Discipline moved to withdraw its case. Paxton’s alleged ethics violations stemmed from claims that he misrepresented fact issues connected to a 2020 filing with the U.S. Supreme Court over voting practices in swing states. However, Paxton has expressed a desire for the Texas Supreme Court to consider more than just an acceptance of the nonsuit with prejudice. He has called for a review of a prior ruling against him by the Dallas Court of Appeals. The development was reported by Texas Lawyer.
