Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) has been indicted on three charges, multiple outlets reported on Saturday.
Paxton also had a similar arrangement with a financial management firm that was
accused of “unethical and fraudulent conduct,” The Dallas Morning News reported
in May. Last year, Paxton admitted to the Texas State Securities Board that he
improperly did not register as an investment adviser when referring clients, and paid
a $1,000 fine.
But failing to register with the board can also be prosecuted as a criminal charge.
After Paxton paid the fine, a watchdog group then filed a complaint asking that
Paxton face criminal charges, which eventually led to an investigation by the Texas
Rangers. A special prosecutor appointed in the case told WFAA in May that the
investigation had led to new evidence.
Paxton has sued the Obama administration multiple times on issues such as
immigration, the environment and benefits for same-sex couples.
Paxton can surrender and get booked at any of the state's county jails, according to
WFAA. He does not have to leave office while facing trial.
