It’s been a heated week in Texas government, as conflicts flair between Attorney General Ken Paxton and GOP legislators, namely House Speaker Dade Phelan. On Tuesday, Paxton called for Phelan’s resignation after a video surfaced of the Speaker slurring and appearing to be intoxicated while presiding over a floor session in the legislature. The AG also penned a letter to the House General Investigating and Ethics Committee requesting an investigation into Speaker Phelan’s conduct.

On Saturday, the Texas House voted to impeach Paxton on 20 articles containing allegations of corruption, with overwhelming bipartisan support of the resolution in a 121-23 vote. Paxton will step down while he is tried in the Senate on charges including bribery, disregard of official duties, and abuse of public trust.
