A federal court on Thursday returned a lawsuit to state court that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton had filed against Travis County over an effort to register voters before the November election.
The federal court found that it did not have jurisdiction over the issue, as Travis County officials had argued, and it granted Paxton's request that the lawsuit be returned to state court.
