To Supreme Court clerk from Ken Paxton office: precedent is clear that a "quo warranto" proceeding "can only be brought by the attorney general, a county attorney, or a district attorney." In re Dallas County, 697
S.W.3d 142, 152 (Tex. 2024) (orig. proceeding) (citation omitted). Further, the
Constitution charges "the Attorney General" with the obligation "to represent the
State in all suits and pleas in the Supreme Court of the State in which the State may be a party." Tex. Const. art. IV, ยง 22. A writ of quo warranto, moreover, "is the exclusive legal remedy afforded to the public by which it may protect itself against the usurpation or unlawful occupancy of a public office by an illegal occupancy." Hamman v. Hayes, 391 S.W.2d 73, 74 (Tex. App.โBeaumont 1965, writ ref'd)
(citations omitted) (emphasis added).
The Speaker of the House has issued arrest warrants for truant members of the
Texas House who have absconded to other states in order to compel their attendance at the ongoing special session. See In re Abbott, 628 S.W.3d 288, 292-98 (Tex. 2021) (orig. proceeding). The Speaker has set a Friday, August 8 deadline for those absent members to return to the Capitol. If those absent members do not comply with the
Speaker's deadline, the Attorney General intends to pursue all available judicial remedies, including those available through a quo warranto proceeding to declare the truant Legislators' offices vacant on grounds of abandonment. As a result, the Court
Post Office Box 12548, Austin, Texas 78711-2548 โข (512) 463-2100 โข www.texasattorneygeneral.gov
Page 2
should not dismiss the Governor's petition until the Speaker's Friday deadline
passes and the Attorney General can be heard on these weighty issues.
Response from Abbott: I write briefly to clarify the Court's jurisdiction in this matter. The petition invoking this Court's original jurisdiction filed today by the Governor does not proceed under Chapter 66 of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code, the provisions being discussed in In re Dallas County,
697 S.W.3d 142 (Tex. 2024). As this Court is aware, it has adjudicated on the merits writs of quo warranto in proceedings brought under this Court's original jurisdiction-independent of its appellate jurisdiction, the only head of jurisdiction that could possibly lie from proceedings under Chapter 66. See, e.g., State ex rel. Angelini v. Hardberger, 932
S.W.2d 489 (Tex. 1996); TEX. R. APP. PROC. 52.1.
The Governor is not seeking to proceed under Chapter 66. As noted in the filing submitted today, the Governor seeks relief under Article V, Section 3 of the Texas Constitution and Section 22.002(a) of the Texas Government Code-as clearly expressed in the petition. See Emergency Pet. 1. As explained in the petition, at least 500 years of common law and more recent Texas Supreme Court precedent make clear that quo warranto proceedings may be initiated by relators other than the Attorney General. Id. at 13-15. As the Relator in this case, Governor Abbott continues to respectively request that this Court rule before House Democrats deny the Legislature a quorum for the third time.

I not sure that publicly fighting with your own Attorney General on the state Supreme Court docket is a winning litigation strategy but hey what do I know

Was CBC propaganda media when Harper was Prime Minister?
Iโve found the CBC to be very soft on asking questions to the CPC during this last election cycle (annoyingly so).

Fucking shameful. The media swept the assassinations of 2 government officials, arresting representatives for going to town halls. The GOP amd the rapist regime are threats to American society and must be treated as such. Protect them, they are fighting for our right to existence. FFS. #FDT

They are going to Hunt the Dems down no matter what it takes or who they have to hurt. All so they can take your voice in the next election, IF they allow an next election. This should tell you who they are better than we ever could. Pay attention Texas. Think about who you are voting for and why.
