Texas Supreme Court dismisses State Bar lawsuit against assistant attorney general

(The Texas Tribune) -- The Texas Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed a lawsuit against Assistant Attorney General Brent Webster that sought to take away his law license for engaging in “dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation” in a legal filing he and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton submitted regarding 2020 election results.

The ruling upholds an earlier one by a Williamson County district judge who decided that taking Webster’s license would violate the Texas Constitution’s separation of powers doctrine.
