Texas AG Ken Paxton Accuses Huffman and Aledo ISDs of Alleged Illegal Electioneering in Houston Area
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is wading through the murky waters of alleged illegal electioneering, having filed lawsuits against both Huffman Independent School District and Aledo ISD. These districts stand accused of using state resources to swing political favor, a move that flouts the Texas Election Code's stern prohibitions. The code explicitly forbids the deployment of "state or local funds or other resources of the district to electioneer for or against any candidate, measure, or political party," and Huffman ISD's superintendent is on the hot seat for reportedly corralling about 200 teachers to back a slate of candidates who stand against school choice.

Supreme Court grants Texas man a stay of execution just before his scheduled lethal injection
HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court granted a stay of execution for a Texas man 20 minutes before he was to receive a lethal injection Tuesday evening. The inmate has long maintained DNA testing would help prove he wasn’t responsible for the fatal stabbing of an 85-year-old woman during a home robbery decades ago. The nation’s high court issued the indefinite stay shortly before inmate Ruben Gutierrez was to have been taken to the death chamber of a Huntsville prison. Gutierrez was condemned for the 1998 killing of Escolastica Harrison at her home in Brownsville in Texas’ southern tip. Prosecutors said the killing of the mobile home park manager and retired teacher was part of an attempt to steal more than $600,000 she had hidden in her home because of her mistrust of banks. Gutierrez has sought DNA testing that he claims would help prove he had no role in her death. His attorneys have said there’s no physical or forensic evidence connecting him to the killing. Two others also were charged in the case.
