Texas (TX) – 21st, Republican ... Oath of Office: Jan. 03, 2025
Ken Paxton is the 51st Attorney General of Texas. He was elected on November 4, 2014, and sworn into office on January 5, 2015.
Representative Chip Roy (TX-21) introduced the Sanctuary Penalty and Public Protection Act today. This legislation is aimed at holding accountable jurisdictions that prioritize illegal aliens ... over the safety of their own residents.
Congressman Chip Roy represents the 21st District of Texas. Latest News: "Rep. Roy Backs the Blue During National Police Week" (May 15, 2026) and other recent posts show Roy acting as a sitting U.S. Representative, not as Texas attorney general.
Recent releases dated May 15 and May 13, 2026 are issued by Attorney General Ken Paxton, including actions on Texas Children’s Hospital, city tax letters, and Dallas County sanctuary policies, showing Paxton still occupies and exercises the attorney general office.
Congressman Chip Roy represents the 21st District of Texas. The site’s June 10, 2026 latest news items include "Rep. Roy Asks DHS for Data on Deportations," describing a letter from Roy to DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin seeking deportation data, and another June 10, 2026 item on an HHS investigation following Roy’s request.
The Texas Attorney General’s official releases page shows Ken Paxton issuing June 11, 2026 press releases, including "Attorney General Paxton Warns Big 12 Conference That Sanctioning Texas Tech Would Violate the Law and Expose the Conference and Members to Over $200 Million in Liability" and "Attorney General Ken Paxton Secures Life Sentence Against Child Predator in Bexar County," as well as the June 9, 2026 FIFA investigation release.
Assessments
The promise was explicitly tied to serving as Texas attorney general, but the evidence shows Chip Roy remained a U.S. representative while Ken Paxton continued to hold and exercise the attorney general office through 2026. Because Roy never assumed the office whose powers were central to the promise, he cannot be credited with fully delivering it. He did take some related congressional actions on law enforcement and border issues, which supports an effort badge, but those steps were not delivery of the attorney-general-specific promise.
The promise is framed specifically as what Chip Roy would do as Texas attorney general. The evidence shows Roy remains a U.S. Representative and Ken Paxton continues to occupy the Texas attorney general office, so Roy has not had the office authority needed to deliver the promised outcome. Roy did take related federal legislative action on community safety and law enforcement, but that does not fulfill the attorney-general-specific promise. Because there was a concrete but insufficient attempt in a related policy area, the effort badge is warranted.
The promise is explicitly conditional on Roy acting as Texas attorney general. The provided evidence shows Roy is still serving as U.S. Representative for Texas's 21st District, while Ken Paxton remains Texas attorney general, so Roy has not held the office needed to deliver the promised attorney-general actions. Roy did make a concrete legislative effort related to law enforcement and public safety through congressional legislation, but that does not fulfill the promised outcome as attorney general. Under the instruction, a serious attempt without delivery warrants never with effort_badge=true.
