In a 2-1 ruling, the Dallas-based 5th Court of Appeals disagreed, saying the commission’s lawsuit accused Paxton of violating the state’s code of ethics, which bars lawyers from conduct “involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation.

The commission accused Paxton of dishonesty when he told the Supreme Court that Texas had “uncovered substantial evidence” that election results were affected by illegal voting, including ballots cast by unregistered voters. The petition also blamed faulty voting machines for changing some results.
