Ken Paxton’s office knew he’d be subpoenaed before he fled his home to avoid being served, emails show

The office of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) knew he would be subpoenaed days before he and his wife fled their home to avoid a process server, according to communications records.

In an affidavit, a process server said that the state’s top attorney tried to evade him as he attempted to deliver a subpoena from an abortion fund’s lawsuit against the state.

Lawyers for abortion funds want Ken Paxton to testify in their lawsuit. He fled his home Monday while being served a subpoena that was later quashed by a judge.
