HOUSTON — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has fired another round in the ongoing legal battles over mask mandates. This time his target is school districts.

Paxton announced Friday he's filed lawsuits against six Texas school districts that are requiring masks for students and staff. Two of them are in the Houston area.

Spring ISD
Galveston ISD
Richardson ISD
Round Rock ISD
Sherman ISD
Elgin ISD

With the Delta variant running rampant, dozens of districts across Texas have defied Gov. Greg Abbott's order banning mask mandates.

Paxton said they're violating Abbott's Executive Order GA-38 which put him in charge of the statewide response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

3. How do you sue schools

For keeping kids safe? Does that include all vaccines to enter schools? Seat belts they’re cllicked in on the way to school? Aggg.. I know it’s Texas but it’s the 21st century. So now the school districts gotta pay precious funds for this 💩. Will parents and those who pay taxes change things?
