About The Paxton Record
Our Mission
The Paxton Record exists to provide a single, organized, source-backed resource documenting the legal, ethical, and political controversies of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. While individual news outlets have covered these stories extensively, no single resource previously compiled the full scope of Paxton's record in one place with primary source links. This site fills that gap.
We believe that public officials — especially the state's top law enforcement officer — should be held accountable through transparency and access to information. The Paxton Record is not affiliated with any political party, campaign, or advocacy organization. It is an independent public records archive.
Our Methodology
Every factual claim on this site is sourced to one or more of the following:
- Court filings and official court records
- Government documents (legislative records, agency filings, official proceedings)
- Established news organizations with editorial standards (Texas Tribune, Houston Chronicle, Associated Press, ProPublica, Texas Monthly, San Antonio Express-News, KXAN, and others)
Where primary source documents are available, we link directly to them. Where claims are based on reporting, we link to the original news source. Allegations are clearly identified as allegations. Opinions are clearly labeled as editorial commentary. We distinguish between established facts, allegations, and analysis.
