Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, faces potential disciplinary action by the State Bar of Texas following a ruling by the Dallas Court of Appeals. The court's decision allows the state bar to proceed with an attorney misconduct lawsuit against Paxton, who is accused of making false claims in a lawsuit challenging the 2020 presidential election results. The disciplinary committee of the State Bar of Texas had accused Paxton in 2022 of making these false claims of fraud. The case concerns Paxton's individual capacity as a licensed attorney, focusing on his efforts to overturn the election results which were deemed meritless.
