1st Court of Appeals limits special prosecutors' fees in Ken Paxton's securities fraud case.

Texas' 1st Court of Appeals ruled against paying special prosecutors Brian Wice and Kent Schaffer $300/hour for their work on Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's securities fraud case, instead capping their fees at the $2,000 limit set by Collin County's fee schedule. This decision marks another reversal in the ongoing nine-year legal dispute over prosecutor pay. Wice has stated his intention to appeal the latest decision.
