Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Thursday filed a lawsuit against the state capital and its county for not lifting their mask mandates after Governor Greg Abbott rolled back the measure statewide, Fox News has learned.
The Texas attorney general had threatened a lawsuit against the city and county for their mask mandates in a letter Wednesday night. Paxton pointed out in the letter that the state law "supercedes" local law and has the "full force" of the state’s authority.More Related News
