Texas sues Bexar County over $566K spent on immigrant legal defense, citing constitutional violations.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued Bexar County over its use of $566,181 in taxpayer funds to support legal defense for undocumented immigrants through a contract with nonprofit American Gateways.
Paxton argues the spending violates the Texas Constitution’s gift clause, claiming it provides private benefits and serves no public purpose.
The lawsuit, filed in February 2026, seeks to block future funding and halt disbursements, echoing a similar 2025 case against Harris County.
Bexar County officials defend the program as essential for protecting due process, preventing family separation, and supporting vulnerable populations like children and trafficking victims.
The case is set for trial in December 2026.
