Texas AG's wife proposes new law that protects people like her husband

By Lisa Needham - February 18, 2019

Texas' Republican attorney general Ken Paxton still faces felony criminal charges for securities violations. Now his wife, a state senator, wants to give his office more power over the securities industry.

Texas state Sen. Angela Paxton, a Republican who just happens to be the wife of the sitting state Attorney General Ken Paxton, has introduced a bill to increase the power of her husband’s office in a way that uniquely benefits her husband.

Back in July 2015, while he was already the sitting attorney general of Texas, Paxton was indicted on three separate securities fraud felonies. One of those was a charge for acting as an investment adviser when he wasn’t registered. Paxton was soliciting clients and taking a commission for those clients, but he had never registered to do so with the state securities board.

Paxton has already faced civil consequences, having been disciplined by the Texas State Securities Board. He’s still awaiting his criminal trial, but has managed to get the trial pushed back several times. The last trial date was for December 2017, but that date came and went — and Paxton made it through the 2018 election while still under indictment.
