Nate Paul was jailed Thursday on contempt of court charges. Paul was central to the impeachment charges the Texas House brought against Ken Paxton.
Austin real estate investor Nate Paul reported to Travis County jail on Thursday night for a 10-day sentence for contempt of court, avoiding a possible media frenzy by showing up earlier than his 10 a.m. Friday deadline. If Paul had refused to show up, a Travis County judge had authorized law enforcement to apprehend him. The developer was at the center of the 2023 impeachment case against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton , who was accused of abusing the office to help Paul fight legal battles.
Who is Nate Paul, the Austin real estate investor with connections to Ken Paxton? Travis County state district Judge Jan Soifer, a Democrat, first found Paul in contempt of court in March 2023 after he made false statements in a civil case before her. Since then, Paul has so far appealed the charge unsuccessfully to every state appellate court, as well as the U.S. Supreme Court.
