Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton fled his home yesterday — in a truck driven by his wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton — after a process server showed up to give him a subpoena for a hearing in federal court scheduled for today. The AG later took to Twitter to yell at people who'd mocked him because when you're a Republican public official, you live in constant danger from leftist murder squads or something.

You can only imagine how terrifying it must have been when process server Martin Herrera showed up unarmed and knocked on the door. Like, maybe almost as terrified as a Texas family being investigated on suspicion of "child abuse" because they support their transgender teenager. Or perhaps as frightened as a 13-year-old girl who needs an abortion in Texas. Haha, OK, probably not, because he is a powerful white man who has managed to hold on to office despite being under indictment for securities fraud since 2016. But he really didn't wanna be served a subpoena in a lawsuit being brought by nonprofits that want to help Texas women who need to leave Texas to get abortions, so he fled, as one does.

Or maybe Paxton was just traumatized by the local PBS affiliate's pledge-week marathon of Are You Being Served?

In an affidavit filed with the US District Court for the Western Division of Texas, process server Ernesto Martin Herrera writes that he arrived at Paxton's home in McKinney, Texas, at 8:28 Monday morning and "could see a silhouette of a man walking in the living room area" from where he'd parked on the street. He knocked on the front door, which was answered by a woman who identified herself as Angela. Herrera adds that he saw through clear glass in the door that Paxton, whom he recognized from photos, started following Angela to the door, but "When he saw me, he turned around and went back to where he came from."

4. Po lil Paxton, skeered of the stranger with the brown people sounding name!

Probably scared the papers were regarding his moldy, cobweb-enshrined indictment.

5. So he sends his wife out to fire up the get away car?

If he thought the process server might be dangerous - he sends his wife out there?

Is she some sort of secret ninja? Or is he just chicken shit?

No, his excuse is just BS.
