A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton must testify in a lawsuit bought by a string of nonprofit organizations seeking to block potential criminal charges against abortion providers offering Texan women access to abortions out of state.

U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman had previously quashed the subpoena before marking a U-turn on the decision on Thursday, court documents (pdf) show.
