Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced he is filing six lawsuits against six school districts that have defied Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s executive order on mask mandates.

Abbott’s Executive Order GA-38 (pdf) issued in July served as a reiteration of an earlier order issued in May that prohibits local governments and schools from requiring masks indoors.
