A judge dismissed Attorney General Ken Paxton's request to block Bexar County's voter registration initiative.

Bexar County attorneys argued that the voter registration forms had already been mailed prior to the hearing.

Paxton previously initiated legal action to stop the outreach effort, which aimed to address the rising number of unregistered voters in the area.

This lawsuit reflects ongoing tensions between Republican leaders and Democratic-controlled counties in Texas regarding voter registration initiatives.
