The Texas Supreme Court has granted Attorney General Ken Paxton's request for an emergency stay to pause depositions in connection with a whistleblower lawsuit, following a ruling by an all-Republican court. This decision came after former President Donald Trump urged the court to leave Paxton alone. Paxton could potentially face a jury trial to defend himself against former deputies after a Travis County judge declined to end the case in the whistleblowers' favor without a trial. Despite Paxton's concession, the whistleblower lawsuit is set to continue after the judge denied efforts to end it.
