Texas Attorney General Opinion. Interim A.G. Recusal.

I read a lot of Texas Attorney General Opinions. In Opinion AC-005, the interim Attorney General has recused themselves and the opinion is signed by Brent Webster. A name we all heard if we listened to the historic impeachment trial of suspended Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. The recusal is rare. There’s a statement about it in the link. The question the opinion answers is whether a Governor’s Executive Order under Chapter 418 Government Code, has the force of law under the Penal Code. The answer: yes, yes it does.
