AUSTIN — The cost of the high-stakes impeachment trial for Attorney General Ken Paxton is largely a question mark and will depend on the length of proceedings. ...
The House Committee on General Investigating hired Rusty Hardin and Dick DeGuerin, two high-profile Houston lawyers, to make the case for removing Paxton from office.
Ultimately, Hardin said their legal services will be far cheaper than the $3.3 million Paxton requested to settle a whistleblower lawsuit that helped spark his impeachment. Hardin intends to bring on a paralegal and in-house investigator who he said also will be paid a lower rate. DeGuerin said he plans to tap at least one other member of his law firm.
