I was aware there was a charge. Did not know it was simply a letter.
I have not heard anything about a conviction.
I suspect it is a political difference of opinion. Texas politics has always had disputes. There has at times been very bad corruption, remembering LBJ and others.
Generally some “groups” (like the Aggie mafia) manage to keep things operating.
It is not a political difference of opinion. It is about Paxton using his office to benefit an Austin real estate investor named Nate Paul. There is a summary of the allegations in this opinion from the 3rd Court of Appeals in the whistleblower case filed by some of the deputied: https://search.txcourts.gov/SearchMedia.aspx?MediaVersionID=e4aef17c-e652-44e5-a0e2-33254e35018d&coa=coa03&DT=Opinion&MediaID=339a6f72-bbcd-4523-8983-8fc340496cb4
I know the first two men on that list, and they are extremely conservative and have dedicated their careers to serving conservative causes. Jeff Mateer has spent most of his career at the First Liberty Institute, which is currently representing the 35 SEALs in the vaccine mandate case and Coach Kennedy in the football field prayer case. Mateer was nominated to the federal bench by Trump, but the nomination was withdrawn after Cornyn decided he was too far to the right on transgender issues. Ryan Bangert is senior counsel and vice president of the Alliance Defending Freedom.
These aren't people who will make up allegations of corruption over a policy dispute. Certainly not all eight of them.
