On Wednesday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton took legal action to prevent Bexar County, which encompasses San Antonio, from sending out unsolicited voter registration forms to around 210,000 individuals. The county's initiative aimed to register approximately 75,000 new voters by partnering with a vendor for the mass mailing.

Paxton had previously cautioned Bexar County against proceeding with the plan, citing the illegality of county officials organizing such a widespread distribution of voter registration forms. In response to the county's decision to move forward, Paxton filed a lawsuit, asserting that the program violates the law and misuses taxpayer funds.
