Ken Paxton: at least 15 reported properties on a $153,000 salary.

At least 15 reported properties, according to published reporting; this is a floor, not a confirmed inventory. The tracker currently itemizes 14 confirmed-owned entries across 5 states: 4 in Texas, four Utah resort condos plus an acreage property, three Florida homes, an Oklahoma resort cabin and a Maui lot. Frisco is a reported residence with ownership unverified; the Johnson County land stake is an investment, not a home. Neither is included in owned totals or itemized value. As of Oct. 2, 2026; reported floor, not a confirmed inventory. His 2026 opponent, James Talarico, said Paxton owns 11 homes; a fact-check largely confirmed that count, and later reporting from The New York Times found the true figure is higher. Many of the properties sit inside the Esther Blind Trust Paxton created in 2015.

Three. AP's July 2025 review of public records found mortgages on a suburban Dallas house and two Austin houses that each contained statements declaring that property the Paxtons' primary residence — a designation that lowers the interest rate. AP also reported homestead tax breaks on two homes at once in 2018, then corrected that account: Travis Central Appraisal District officials said the Austin home's 2018 break transferred from its previous owner, and The Dallas Morning News reported Paxton did not claim the break on two properties. Paxton has not been charged in connection with these filings.
