Ken Paxton's securities fraud trial to be held in Houston, court rules.

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has ruled that the securities fraud case against suspended Attorney General Ken Paxton should remain in Houston, overturning lower-court decisions that said Paxton’s trial had been improperly moved from Collin County. Paxton faces an impeachment trial in the Texas Senate this summer. The securities fraud charges relate to Paxton’s efforts in 2011 to solicit investors in Servergy Inc. without disclosing that the McKinney-based tech company was paying him to promote its stock.
