The State Bar of Texas will not mover forward with it's case against Attorney General Ken Paxton after the Texas Supreme Court ruled in favor of the assistant attorney general in a similar case last month.

The State Bar of Texas is dropping efforts to discipline Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton over allegations that his failed efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election amounted to professional misconduct.

The state bar had sought to sanction Paxton, which could have carried a punishment ranging from a private reprimand to disbarment.

At the request of the bar, the Texas Supreme Court handed down an order Wednesday that brings the bar's attempts to sanction Paxton to an end.
