GOP Attorney General In Texas Loses Legal Battle Against Towns With Decriminalized Cannabis, Insists They’re ‘Run By Pro-Crime Extremists’
A Texas judge dismissed another of Attorney General Ken Paxton‘s lawsuits over voter-approved marijuana decriminalization ordinances. It is Paxton’s second legal loss in as many cases.
“On Monday, Judge Sherri Tibbe dismissed Ken Paxton’s lawsuit seeking to force the City of San Marcos to devote scarce local resources to arresting people for marijuana possession,” according to Ground Game Texas in a Tuesday news release. “This ruling follows last month’s dismissal of Paxton’s lawsuit against the City of Austin and reaffirms that the AG has no business telling cities how to enforce drug law.”
Ground Game has been instrumental in organizing cannabis reform initiatives across multiple Texas cities. The cities still waiting for Paxton to pounce include Denton, Elgin and Killeen. In June, a judge dismissed Paxton’s lawsuit against Austin.
