Texas attorney general threatens to sue unless Austin leaders rescind mask requirement AUSTIN, Texas Texas’ top law enforcement officer has threatened to sue leaders in the state’s capital for maintaining local coronavirus mask requirements, saying they illegally defy the governor’s order ending a statewide mandate. Attorney General Ken Paxton, in a letter to Austin Mayor Steve Adler and Travis County Judge Andy Brown, said he would sue unless mask mandates for the city and the county were rescinded by Wednesday at 6 p.m. local time. But both local leaders say they won’t back down, setting the stage for the latest showdown in a long-running, nationwide clash over public health rules that often breaks along political lines. Sixteen states have no statewide mask rule.
