Texas AG Paxton Files Lawsuits Against Five Cities Over Marijuana Decriminalization

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing five Texas cities, including Austin and San Marcos, to block their ordinances decriminalizing low-level marijuana possession, which were approved by voters in 2022. Paxton claims the ordinances violate state laws and the Texas constitution, arguing that municipalities cannot adopt policies inconsistent with state laws. The cities, which received high levels of voter support for the ordinances, are home-rule cities, but Paxton seeks to repeal the ordinances and enforce state law.
