Texas bar seeks to punish AG Ken Paxton for election lawsuit

The State Bar of Texas sued Wednesday to punish state Attorney General Ken Paxton for his failed efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election based on bogus claims of fraud, raising a new legal danger for the Republican the day after he secured his party's nomination for a third term. The state bar asked a Dallas-area court to impose unspecified discipline on the state's top lawyer, alleging that Paxton's petitioning of the U.S. Supreme Court to block President Joe Biden’s victory was “dishonest.” The formal accusation of professional misconduct makes Paxton one of the highest-profile attorneys to face a potential threat to their law license for a role in former President Donald Trump’s effort to delegitimize his defeat.

Texas Gov. Wants Parents Providing Transgender Treatments to Their Minors Reported for Child Abuse

By Victor TrammellIf it looks that the parents of transgender minors are obtaining gender-affirming medical treatment, Texas Governor Greg Abbott (pictured) is urging “licensed professionals” and “members of the general public” to report them to state authorities. He went on to say that “failure to disclose such child abuse” is punishable under state law. Nearly two dozen states explored legislation last year that would deny transgender adolescents access to some or all gender-affirming medical treatment. Some states, including Texas, proposed laws that would have made providing transition care a crime for parents or physicians. Abbott’s policy “rejects evidence-based transgender medical treatment,” according to the Endocrine Society, an international medical association for the subject of endocrinology, which includes the study of hormones.
