Where Ken Paxton appears in the timeline
Talarico's "11 homes" line is overtaken by the record
Democratic nominee James Talarico said Paxton "owns 11 homes, while most Texans can't afford one." A fact-check largely confirmed the claim, then further reporting showed the real number is higher — around 15 properties across five states.
MS NOW / MaddowBlog ↗New York Times finds four Utah resort condos
Times reporting on Paxton's wealth documents four condominiums at the Black Desert Resort in Utah, pushing the publicly documented count of Paxton properties to about 15, worth roughly $9 million on a $153,000 salary.
The New York Times ↗Paxton voted from an address he had left, records show
Texas Tribune and ProPublica reporting finds Paxton used the McKinney address where he no longer lived while voting in six elections over two years, including the May runoff, while a trust bought the Frisco-area home reporters link to him.
Texas Tribune / ProPublica ↗Paxton wins the Republican Senate nomination
Paxton defeats four-term incumbent John Cornyn in the GOP runoff with 63.8% of more than 1.38 million votes, setting up a November race against Democratic state Rep. James Talarico.
Associated Press ↗Trump endorses Paxton ahead of the runoff
President Donald Trump endorses Paxton in the GOP Senate runoff, calling him a "true MAGA warrior," days before the vote that ousts four-term Sen. John Cornyn.
Associated Press ↗Mortgage-fraud complaint filed against Paxton with FHFA
An East Texas Republican official files a federal mortgage-fraud complaint against Paxton through the FHFA hotline, citing the AP primary-residence reporting. No charges have resulted; Paxton has not been charged in connection with the filings.
KUT / The Texas Newsroom ↗AP: three homes each declared a primary residence
An Associated Press review of public records finds mortgages on three Paxton homes — one in suburban Dallas, two in Austin — each containing statements declaring that house the couple's primary residence, locking in lower interest rates. Knowingly making false statements on mortgage documents is a federal and state crime.
Associated Press ↗Letitia James' attorney calls for a Paxton investigation
Abbe Lowell argues that if the administration were serious about mortgage fraud it would "turn their attention to Texas," as the Justice Department pursues Democrats over comparable filings.
Associated Press ↗Securities charges dropped
The long-running state securities case against Paxton is resolved and the charges are dropped.
Associated Press ↗Acquitted by the Texas Senate
Paxton is acquitted at trial in the Texas Senate and returns to office.
Associated Press ↗Impeached by the Texas House
The Republican-controlled Texas House impeaches Paxton over alleged misdeeds in office, much of it stemming from his relationship with Nate Paul.
Associated Press ↗FBI probe expands to Paxton home renovations
AP reports the FBI is examining renovations to Paxton's million-dollar home as part of the Nate Paul investigation, after former deputies said the donor had a hand in the work.
Associated Press ↗Eight top aides report Paxton to the FBI
Senior staff in the attorney general's office tell the FBI they believe Paxton is misusing his office to help Austin real estate developer Nate Paul. All eight later quit or are fired; four sue under the state whistleblower law.
Associated Press ↗Reported double homestead tax break, later corrected
AP initially reported that in 2018 the Paxtons collected homestead property tax breaks on both the suburban Dallas family home and a $1.1 million Austin home, a break Texas law allows on one property only. AP later corrected the 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 exemptions on two properties that year.
Associated Press / Dallas Morning News ↗Indicted on state securities charges
Paxton is indicted on securities fraud charges, beginning roughly a decade under indictment while serving as the state's top law enforcement officer.
Associated Press ↗The Paxtons buy a second home in Austin
After years of owning the suburban Dallas house, the couple purchases an Austin home in 2015 — then another.
Associated Press ↗Paxton elected Texas Attorney General
Ken Paxton wins the office responsible for enforcing many of the state laws that would later be raised in questions about his own property filings.
