AUSTIN, Texas — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has tested positive for COVID-19 and is working from home, his office said Wednesday.
Paxton's communications office declined to address questions about his vaccination status.
Paxton joins other high-profile Texas politicians in contracting COVID-19, including Gov. Greg Abbott, who credited his "brief and mild" illness in August to his status as fully vaccinated, and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who is fully vaccinated and boosted and tested positive in late December, experiencing mild symptoms before testing negative on New Year's Day.
