Former top aides to the Texas attorney general are seeking damages for their firings after they reported Paxton to the FBI. The Legislature opted not to authorize a $3.3 million settlement in the lawsuit.
Organizers of trail ride where 7 were shot near Prairie View say they were in compliance, despite judge’s claimsThis 11-piece Cuisinart cookware set is a perfect gift for the holidaysWhistleblower Ryan Vassar sits in the Senate gallery on the ninth day of Attorney General Ken Paxtons impeachment trial at the state Capitol in Austin, Texas, on Sept. 15, 2023.
"Texas law is clear that settlement agreements should be enforced,” Paxton said in a statement. “If plaintiffs are allowed to disregard their settlements with the State, the important work of my office, and litigation for state agencies across Texas, would be significantly impaired." In its filing Tuesday, Paxton’s office accused the whistleblowers of breaching the settlement agreement by “seeking to resume discovery” last week in the case. The whistleblowers gave notice they planned to subpoena impeachment records and take depositions, according to Paxton’s office.
In issuing the temporary restraining order, Stubbs said there is “good cause to believe have engaged, are engaged, and will continue to engage in acts and practices inconsistent with the Mediated Settlement Agreement.”
