A federal judge allows Attorney General Ken Paxton to withdraw from defending Comptroller Kelly Hancock in a religious discrimination lawsuit over Texass new school voucher program. The judge appoints a new lawyer for Hancock, following a public feud between the two Republicans. Paxton accuses Hancock of incompetence, while Hancock criticizes Paxtons legal moves. The lawsuit claims the state unfairly excluded Islamic schools from the voucher program, and the judge extends the deadline and orders Hancock to allow eligible Islamic schools to participate. The internal GOP conflict raises questions about Texass handling of its largest voucher push ever, as Paxton prepares for his Senate runoff.
