Texas AG Ken Paxton and wife agree to unseal divorce records after lawsuit, pending judge’s approval.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and his wife, Senator Angela Paxton, have agreed to unseal records from their divorce proceedings after a lawsuit by multiple news and watchdog groups. Angela filed for divorce in July, citing adultery, and a judge initially sealed the documents. Media organizations argued public access is warranted due to Ken Paxton’s role as a high-profile elected official running in the 2026 Republican Senate primary. The couple’s lawyers submitted a joint motion to unseal the records, pending a judge’s approval at a Friday hearing. The decision could increase transparency around the couple’s finances and personal matters amid ongoing scrutiny of Paxton’s conduct.
