Back to EpisodesPaxton Drops Hancock in Muslim School Lawsuit
Description
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxtons office withdraws from defending Comptroller Kelly Hancock in a federal lawsuit over Muslim schools access to the states education savings account program. This move follows Hancocks criticism of Paxton for approving a Houston Muslim school into the program and his call for Governor Greg Abbott to replace Hancock. The lawsuits, combined in mid-March, resulted in a judge ordering the state to let Muslim schools participate. Paxtons office accuses Hancock of a political stunt, while the plaintiffs legal team prepares to continue the fight for Texas families. Tensions between the two have been simmering since Hancocks vote to convict Paxton in his 2023 impeachment trial.
