Whistleblower lawsuit against Ken Paxton to move forward, Texas’ top court rules

The ruling comes just days after four former top deputies Paxton fired in 2020 asked the court to reinstate their lawsuit. It was on hold while under a tentative settlement that fell apart after the Legislature refused to fund the deal that would have paid the whistleblowers $3.3 million.

The ruling is a loss for Paxton and allows the suit to proceed in Travis County, where the recently reinstated attorney general has said he has little chance of a fair trial because of liberal elected officials.
