AUSTIN — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has exhausted his options for appeal and is preparing to stand trial for securities fraud sometime next year.
"We are preparing for trial in the state matter and have confidence in the strength of our case," Paxton's attorney Philip Hilder said Tuesday in a prepared statement. "We look forward to trying the case in Collin County."
Last month, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals denied Paxton's request to throw out his three felony indictments on charges of violating state securities laws. The attorney general had the option to ask the court one final time to rethink its decision but instead opted to begin preparations for his trial, which will probably start next spring or early summer.
