Ken Paxton to pay $3.3m of Texas taxpayer money to settle lawsuit against himself

I’ve lived in Texas since early 1990s.
Even if we did have standing to sue the outcome is all but a foregone conclusion.

In the best possible scenario, the case would be tried in Travis County. @anon23281680 would know better than I would if that were even possible.

Asking for justice in the current Texas legal landscape in such a case would be AFAICT a principled stand that would cost a ton of money. I’d give the odds of taxpayers winning against the Texas AG himself at about a skidillion-billion to one.

Stranger things have happened.
