Best mugshot ever
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton will make his first court appearance on securities fraud charges later this month.
State District Judge George Gallagher issued an order on Friday that sets Paxton’s initial appearance for 10 a.m. Aug. 27.
But instead of being at the Collin County Courthouse where the indictments were issued, the hearing will be at the courthouse in Fort Worth where Gallagher is based. Under the law cited in the order, “any of the judicial proceedings except the trial on the merits [may be held] in a different county.”
There’s a copy of the court order at the link. Not a whole lot more to add, and there’s likely to not be much at the hearing, but we are officially on our way.
