Judge Dismisses Texas AG's Lawsuit Against Bexar County Voter Registration Mailers

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's attempt to block Bexar County's voter registration effort was deemed moot as forms had already been mailed.

  • District Judge Antonia Arteaga ruled against Paxton's temporary restraining order and injunction, citing the mailers had already been sent.
  • Bexar County sent out 210,000 voter registration forms through an outside vendor, Civic Government Solutions.
  • Paxton argued the mailers could lead to ineligible people registering to vote, but county officials assured legal compliance.
  • The lawsuit is part of a broader Republican effort to curb voter registration initiatives in Democratic-leaning counties.
  • County officials and legal experts defended the mailers as a legitimate effort to boost voter registration ahead of the November election.
