The Texas Senate has rendered their verdict on the 16 articles of impeachment lodged against Ken Paxton, the Attorney General of Texas. After a night of careful deliberation, Senators reconvened in the Texas Senate chamber promptly at 10:30 AM CST.

Finally, at approximately 11:10 AM CST, the long-awaited vote took place. To the relief of many, the Texas Senate has acquitted Paxton of the impeachment charges. The closing arguments from both sides in the impeachment trial took place on day nine, attended by Paxton himself.

During the trial, Rep. Andrew Murr (R-Junction) presented a ten-minute argument, claiming that Paxton had surrendered the authority of the attorney general's office to a private citizen, enabling them to launch attacks against perceived adversaries.

Murr further contended that Paxton should have heeded the advice of the knowledgeable senior staffers, whom he called the "best and the brightest," when they advised against assisting real estate developer Nate Paul.

In response to Murr's statement, attorneys Tony Buzbee and Dan Cogdell passionately defended Paxton, asserting that the impeachment effort was a retaliatory move orchestrated by the Bushes following Paxton's victory over George P. Bush in the 2022 primary for attorney general.
