Talarico seeks release of Paxton depositions in energy-investment dispute

Democratic U.S. Senate hopeful James Talarico’s campaign asked a Collin County court to unseal transcripts of Ken Paxton’s depositions from 2019 and 2022 in a securities-fraud dispute tied to Unity Resources; the move argues the depositions are matters of public record relevant to Paxton’s fitness for office in the Texas U.S. Senate race, note that reporting suggested potential attorney-client privilege issues, while Paxton’s camp rejects the claims and the depositions were sealed after a 2023 settlement.
