Texas AG Ken Paxton and Sen. Angela Paxton's Divorce Trial Cancelled, Officials Say
The parties said they made substantial progress toward an amicable resolution, though reporters noted the cancellation does not mean a final settlement is complete.
- On Tuesday, Collin County court records revealed that the divorce trial for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and state Sen. Angela Paxton has been canceled. The judge removed the case from the docket as the couple negotiates a potential settlement.
- Angela Paxton filed for divorce in July 2025 on "biblical grounds," citing adultery and recent discoveries. The couple, married for 38 years, previously fought to keep proceedings private before records were unsealed last December.
- Attorneys Jared Julian and Laura Roach stated that "the parties have made substantial progress toward an amicable resolution of all issues." They noted both sides remain in productive discussions and a final agreement is expected soon.
- Following Ken's recent GOP Senate primary victory against incumbent Sen. John Cornyn, he now faces Democratic nominee James Talarico in November's general election, where the divorce remains a potential campaign vulnerability.
- Should current settlement negotiations collapse, the court could schedule a new trial date for the couple, who have been living separately for over a year. Canceling the trial does not guarantee a final divorce agreement.
