A lawyer for Ken Paxton’s wealth manager is asking a Collin County court to keep the attorney general’s sworn depositions from a years-old securities fraud dispute under seal, arguing that Democrat James Talarico’s U.S. Senate campaign has no legal standing to seek their release.
State Rep. Mitch Little, a Lewisville Republican who represents Charles Loper III in the case, also contended in a Sept. 21 filing that the court does not have jurisdiction over the campaign’s request and has never classified the deposition transcripts as “court records” subject to public access.
