Attorney General Ken Paxton and his legal team seem be to trying to find out what they can get away with under Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick's gag order. The order seeks to limit prior commentary about Paxton's impeachment trial before the Texas Senate in September. Patrick will be the presiding judge in the trial. Last month's gag order allows the parties to issue statements reciting information from public records, but without comment. Paxton's lead lawyer, Tony Buzbee, went on a Dallas radio show and read from the latest court filings word-for-word, including passages that disparage the case against Paxton.
