Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has finalized his divorce, lawyer says, ending long marriage

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has finalized his divorce from his wife, Angela, one of his lawyers said Thursday. It comes nearly a week after Paxton, a Republican, lost his U.S. Senate race by double digits to Democrat James Talarico in one of the most expensive contests of the midterm elections that saw a wave of victories for Democrats across the country. Angela Paxton, a state senator, cited allegations of adultery when she sought to end their 38-year-marriage . She filed the divorce after her husband had launched his run for Senate, posting on social media that she was doing so on “biblical grounds.” Jared Julian, a lawyer for Ken Paxton, said the terms would remain private. “From my observation, however, they share a mutual respect for one another,” Julian said. He added that both appeared to be looking forward “to the next chapters of their lives.” An attorney for Angela Paxton did not immediately respond to phone and email messages Thursday. The finalized divorce was first reported by The New York Times. After Paxton entered the race, some Republicans considered Paxton a potential drain on GOP resources because of legal, ethical and personal questions he

Everything is Bigger in Texas, Including Change

On Tuesday Nov. 3, 2026, Texas made history during the 2026 U.S. midterm elections after the Associated Press News called the race for Democrat, Sen.-elect James Talarico. The results were a big shift for Texas because for years, it has been commonly known as a red state. Texas has not elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate since 1988. Talarico said that “Texas is purple” as a way to unite the largely blue cities such as Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio with the largely red rural Texas communities.
