Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed lawsuits against five Texas cities, including Austin and Denton, challenging their marijuana policies. In response, a Denton group supporting the decriminalization of marijuana has asked the court to dismiss Paxton's lawsuit. The contention arises as Austin's pot laws are under scrutiny, and efforts to decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana in cities like Lubbock continue despite the legal actions.
