- The allegations against Paxton include his request for state funds to settle a lawsuit, accusations of improper firing of whistleblowers, and an alleged extramarital affair that is described as a bribe. If convicted, Paxton would become Texas' first statewide official convicted on impeachment charges in over 100 years.
