'See you in court,' Texas AG Ken Paxton warns school districts with mask mandates

TEXAS — At least 45 Texas school districts have had to shut down in-person instruction, according to the Texas Tribune. An explosion of COVID-19 cases has caused numerous student and staff absences and substitute teachers have been hard to come by.

While many school districts have defied Gov. Greg Abbott’s executive order and are requiring masks inside district facilities, some are reversing that decision.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton this week noted three school districts – Trenton ISD, Calvert ISD and Los Fresnos ISD – rescinded their mask mandates. He issued a warning to those school districts that haven’t followed suit.

“3 districts rescinded mask-mandates: Trenton, Calvert, & Los Fresnos ISDs. In doing so, they’ll save taxpayer $$ in futile litigation & comply with TX law. More ISDs are still breaking the law. Lawsuits are coming against them THIS WEEK,” Paxton wrote. “Rescind now or see you in court!”

TX is the dumpster fire that FL was in August. It's a race to see who impresses their Cult Leader the most.

Ken Paxton's criminal case can be heard in his hometown of Collin County, after appeals court refuses to reconsider

THE TEXAS TRIBUNE -- Attorney General Ken Paxton's securities fraud case back to tried in his home county in North Texas, an appeals court affirmed Thursday when it denied the prosecution's plea to reconsider the decision.

The 1st Court of Appeals in Houston denied a motion by prosecutors to hold a hearing of the full nine-justice court to review the decision made by a three-justice panel of the court in May to move the case from Harris County back to Collin County, where Paxton lives. The order avoids further delays in the six-year-old criminal case against the sitting attorney general and returns the case to what is seen as a friendlier venue to the two-term Republican incumbent.

"Even as Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton vow to punish local government and school district officials who flout the governor’s executive order, they conceded in court documents that they actually have no power to enforce the ban.

“Neither Governor Abbott nor Attorney General Paxton will be enforcing” the order, Paxton argued in a Monday court filing in Dallas."
