"If funding approval is not achieved this session, OAG says the case should remain abated until the 89th Legislature considers it in 2025. And if that Legislature refuses to approve ... the abatement should remain in place until the following session. And so on in perpetuity," according to the motion to lift the abatement order.

Four former attorneys of the Office of Attorney General who sued Ken Paxton are asking the Texas Supreme Court to lift its abatement order, claiming the attorney general reneged on their proposed settlement agreement.
The plaintiffs are four of eight top deputies Paxton fired after they accused him of bribery and abuse of office in October 2020 and reported the allegations to law enforcement. They filed suit for retaliation the next month.
