Texas Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton will file criminal complaints Monday morning against the state House Board of Managers for allegedly releasing his personal information, such as his home address, the Daily Caller has exclusively learned.
Paxton said the House impeachment managers had a desire to threaten him with the goal of harming him when they released his home address in an Oct. 2 document release. Paxton will be filing complaints with every manager’s county prosecutor. He also is calling for all of the districts to investigate “the criminal offenses that have been committed.”
“My family and I receive multiple threats of violence. The legislature passed an anti-doxing law to stop the far left from using intimidation tactics like leaking or releasing personal information that would allow nefarious individuals to do harm to elected officials. The impeachment managers clearly have a desire to threaten me with harm when they released this information last week,” Paxton told the Caller before filing the complaints.

Paxton will be citing Texas Statute 42.074. The 88th Legislature passed House Bill 611, which was signed into law and codified in Texas Penal Code Section 42.074, effective Sept. 1, 2023.

Punch it down their throats, Ken!
I can't imagine any legal reason to do this.
Fry 'em.
“Whiskey for my men and beer for my horses...”
Take every one of them to court and don’t force any fines on them in which the taxpayer will be on the hook for. Make it personal.
No whiskey left. The Texas House schpeaker hazsh drinct it all.
Ken is doing something that is usually NOT done - holding politicians accountable for their wrong doing, in this case, violating an actual law. Typically, politicians get away with everything short of murder (and ‘some’ certain pols have even gotten away with that). Go scorched earth Ken & Godspeed.

Someone may know better, but being signed into law that recently may mean that it wasn’t in effect when Ken was doxed. But then Ken is no dummy, so I figure that I’m missing something.
In any case, if Ken does send people to jail over this, some of those people may have just recently voted for the law that’s sending them to jail. LOL.
Good reason to throw him to the curb.
Sep 1, 2023 was the effective date, meaning that law has been in effect since that date. Texas laws normally go into effect at the beginning of the fiscal year (Sep 1). This means the law had been in effect for one month before the info was released on Oct 2.
“This means the law had been in effect for one month before the info was released on Oct 2.”
THANK YOU - I didn’t realize the info was released that recently. Something tells me there are some Paxton-haters making phone calls to their lawyer-friends.
I can think of a few nefarious reasons.....
Creative. Gets hit out of Travis county
Well of course. Hoping to happen, exactly what did happen.
Keep in mind that Paxton has Tony Buzbee in his team…
GWB is or was a great actor. He had millions of conservatives thinking he was one of them.
It’s sickening. All of them since Hoover except Eisenhower, Reagan and Trump.
