"Texas House Panel Recommends Impeachment of Attorney General Ken Paxton for Misconduct"

A Texas House committee has recommended the impeachment and removal from office of Attorney General Ken Paxton, citing a pattern of alleged misconduct and lawbreaking. The House will decide whether to approve the articles against Paxton, which could lead to his removal from office pending the outcome of a trial to be conducted by the Senate. If a majority of the 149-member House approves the articles before the regular legislative session ends Monday, senators would need to convene a special session to hear the case. No Legislature has impeached an attorney general before.
