Texas Scorecard by Travis Morgan August 27, 2025
Paxton had asked the courts to terminate Powered by People’s authority to do business in Texas for violating criminal laws.Attorney General Ken Paxton has slammed Texas’ Supreme Court and Fifteenth Court of Appeals for what he described as “a blindly political attempt to aid fraudster” Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke.
This comes after the Supreme Court denied Paxton’s request to reverse the Fifteenth Court’s decision to halt discovery and delay a hearing in the case.
As reported by Texas Scorecard earlier this month, Paxton escalated his legal fight against O’Rourke, filing an amended petition to strip the corporate charter of his group, Powered by People.
Paxton accused the organization of deceptively fundraising and doling out “Beto Bribes” to Democrat lawmakers who fled the state to break quorum during the first special legislative session this summer.
On Tuesday, the newly-established Fifteenth Court of Appeals asked the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) to respond to a 75-page petition for writ of mandamus filed by O’Rourke’s group, which sought emergency judicial intervention to block the enforcement of trial court orders.
However, the OAG was given less than 30 hours to respond.
