Austin, Texas — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is facing questions over whether he used a voting address where he no longer lived, even as his office has warned Texans against misrepresenting their residence on election records.
News from the States, republishing a joint investigation by ProPublica and The Texas Tribune, reported that Paxton voted in six elections over the past two years while registered at a Collin County home. In a 2025 divorce filing, state Sen. Angela Paxton said he had moved out of that home a year earlier.
The report said Paxton has been linked to a Denton County property since February, though he remains registered to vote in Collin County. Three election lawyers told the outlets that the situation could raise questions under Texas law, which requires voters to register where they reside.
Paxton’s campaign denied wrongdoing and called the report “baseless” and “lie-filled,” while pointing to his record on election integrity. The campaign did not provide specific answers to questions about where Paxton lives or why his voter registration remained unchanged.
Texas law allows voters to remain registered at an address if their absence is temporary and they intend to return, making residency cases difficult to prove.
