Ken Paxton
Texas Attorney General
Texas’ 51st Attorney General, Ken Paxton, is known for his principled and uncompromising devotion to America’s founding values, and as a man who has demonstrated enormous political courage throughout his service to Texas.
The son of an Air Force veteran, General Paxton is a stalwart leader with an abiding passion and deep-seated respect for our U.S. Constitution.
While serving in both chambers of the Texas Legislature, General Paxton worked to protect the 10th Amendment, defending Texas’ state sovereignty. He co-sponsored and defended Texas’ Voter ID bill, and has been a prominent voice in the defense of religious liberty and the protection of the unborn.
A defender of our free enterprise system, General Paxton has worked to make Texas a beacon of economic prosperity, opposing burdensome government regulations that harm Texas jobs and stunt economic growth.
Ken Paxton was born December 23, 1962, in Minot, North Dakota, while his father was stationed at Minot Air Force Base. He graduated from Baylor University, where he served as student body president, earning a B.A. in psychology in 1985 and an M.B.A. in 1986.
In 1991, he earned a law degree from the University of Virginia School of Law, founded by Thomas Jefferson. After law school, he joined the firm of Strasburger & Price, LLP, and later served as in-house counsel for J.C. Penney Company.

Texas Abortion Law Before the Supreme Court
It was unmistakably clear on Wednesday that the Supreme Court’s first close look at abortion rights in nine years will turn on the reaction of Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, and there were at least sturdy hints that he would lead the Court in one of two directions. In an intense argument in Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt that ran twenty-six minutes longer than scheduled, Kennedy seemed poised to find a way out of a four-to-four split — if the initial vote comes to that — or to strike down by a narrow vote the two restrictions at issue in the 2013 Texas law, known as “HB2.”
Attorney General Brief for Texas Abortion Law
(I)
QUESTIONS PRESENTED
Like other States, Texas responded to the Kermit Gosnell scandal by enacting laws to improve the standard of care for abortion patients. The Legislature heard testimony about the health benefits of requiring doctors to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals and
clinics to meet ambulatory-surgical-center standards. Evidence to the same effect was admitted at trial. Indeed, this Court upheld an ambulatory-surgical-center law for second-trimester abortions in Simopoulos v. Virginia
, 462 U.S. 506 (1983), and the National
Abortion Federation previously recommended that abortion doctors have local admitting privileges.
