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 Mateer was nominated to the federal bench by Trump, but the nomination was withdrawn after Cornyn decided he was too far to the right on transgender issues.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.

Another point, I avoid Austin as much as possible. My daughter and my X son-in-law lived in Williamson County, near Austin. Before he was transferred to the DC office of his company.
Last time I was in Austin, my daughter was discussing moving back to Texas and we went house shopping in Austin. That was when Governor Abbott’s last Inauguration was. The two times before that I was there was to receive Family Land Heritage Awards for my Uncle and later my Grandmother.
