TL;DR Summary

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's fate now rests with the Texas Senate after the House voted to impeach him for alleged misconduct. Paxton's office delivered a defense of him to senators' offices, including a letter from his top deputy, Brent Webster, who criticized the House and said senators are in an "unenviable position." The Senate, which has yet to announce a trial date, will set rules for the proceedings, and two-thirds of the senators are needed to approve Paxton's removal from office. The chamber is riddled with potential conflicts of interest, including Paxton's wife, Sen. Angela Paxton, who has not said whether she will participate in her husband's impeachment trial.
