🤦🏻♀️Prosecutors on Tuesday announced an agreement with #Texas Attorney General Ken #Paxton that would ultimately dismiss securities fraud charges he has been facing for nearly a decade.
Under the 18-mo pre-trial agreement, special prosecutors in the case would drop 3 felony counts against Paxton. As part of the deal, Paxton must pay full restitution to victims — roughly $300K — & must also complete 100 hours of community service and 15 hours of legal ethics educ.”

NEW: A day after it dismissed the bar case against Sidney Powell, a Dallas appeals court ruled that Attorney General Ken #PAXTON *can* face discipline over misrepresentations in his 2020 Texas v. PA Supreme Court filing.
Paxton had argued he was immune.
Unlike the Powell decision, however, there was a dissent here, with one of the three judges agreeing that Paxton should be immune because he filed the 2020 lawsuit in his official capacity. #legal #Texas
Ken Paxton’s vote suppression goon squad raided an 87-year-old Latina who “said that the officers told her they came because she had filled out a report saying that older residents were not getting mail ballots. “Yes, I did,” she told them. For 35 years, Ms. Martinez has been a member of LULAC, the civil rights group, helping Latino residents stay engaged in politics.”
