Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued Austin and Travis County leaders over what he says is local overstep of the governor's order removing a statewide mask mandate. “I told Travis County & The City of Austin to comply with state mask law,” Paxton tweeted Thursday, a day after he threatened to sue. “They blew me off. So, once again, I’m dragging them to court.” The lawsuit, which was filed in Travis County District Court on Thursday, names Austin Mayor Steve Adler, Travis County Judge Andy Brown and interim Medical Director and Health Authority Mark Escott as defendants.
