US EditionTexas AG Ken Paxton's North Texas Securities Fraud Charges Officially Dismissed, Attorney Says
- Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's decade-long securities fraud case was officially dismissed on Wednesday in Harris County, Texas.
- The case originated from Paxton's July 2015 indictment by a Collin County grand jury for allegedly defrauding investors in the tech startup Servergy without disclosing compensation.
- Paxton agreed in March 2024 to a pretrial intervention requiring over 100 hours of community service, 30 hours of ethics training, and approximately $300,000 in restitution to victims including Byron and Kay Cook.
- Special prosecutors Jed Silverman and Brian Wice stated they took an oath not to convict but to seek justice, acknowledging that justice was delayed but not denied in reaching a fair and just resolution for all parties.
- The dismissal ended Paxton's legal saga without an admission of guilt and coincides with his ongoing 2026 Senate campaign challenging incumbent Senator John Cornyn.
