Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Feb. 6 issued a notice of intent to sue two Biden administration agencies over an endangered species listing for the lesser prairie chicken, adding to a growing number of states resisting the decision.

“This rule was a targeted attempt to implement an unlawful, top-down federal approach aimed at advancing a radical environmentalist agenda, which would crush the type of economic development that aids in providing funds for conservation. This isn’t going to fly in Texas,” Paxton said in a statement.
