Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued the Bexar County Commissioners Court after it voted to enact an unlawful program that would mass-mail voter registration applications to residents regardless of whether those residents have requested such an application or are even eligible to vote.
On September 3, the Bexar County Commissioners Court voted in favor of a new program that would hire a third-party vendor with taxpayer funds to print and distribute voter registration forms to unregistered individuals in the county.
Attorney General Paxton previously sent a letter to the Bexar County Commissioners Court warning that he would sue if the county attempted to institute the unlawful program. Attorney General Paxton filed a lawsuit asking for an injunction to prevent the program from taking effect.
