He's allowed to serve while under indictment and while being tried. I imagine that process has about a two or three year clock attached.
Seems to be a "wheeler/dealer" type, he himself was victim of an investment/Ponzi scheme some time ago. I bet he spends more time working on his investments, than he does working on state AG business. As AG, he has an army of minions.

Except for Governor Abbott. I think if he believes Paxton is compromised and it would be bad for Texas for him to remain in office, he will ask him to resign. Paxton wouldn’t have to, but I think he would as he wouldn’t have Abbott backing him up. We will have to wait and see what happens in the next few months, or less.
