AUSTIN (KXAN/Nexstar) — The impeachment trial for suspended Attorney General Ken Paxton is officially underway, beginning Tuesday morning despite Paxton's requests to dismiss all articles of impeachment. As presiding officer of the trial, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick functioned as a judge by kicking off the trial with procedural moves taking up the majority of the morning. Proceedings began with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Texas administering oaths to Patrick and others involved in the process, swearing in all members of the jury — the 31 senators — except for Paxton's wife, Sen.

With bipartisan votes, Texas Senate members voted to deny 16 motions fr...
