The Commission for Lawyer Discipline is asking the Texas Supreme Court to nonsuit with prejudice its case against the attorney general, but Ken Paxton also wants the court to revisit a Dallas Court of Appeals ruling against him.

On Wednesday, the commission, an entity of the State Bar of Texas, filed a notice of nonsuit to dismiss its disciplinary case against Paxton for his alleged ethics violations by misrepresenting fact issues in a 2020 filing with the U.S. Supreme Court that challenged votes in swing states in the general election.
