State Sen. Angela Paxton, the wife of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, has filed for divorce from her husband, according to Collin County court records.

The couple has been married for 38 years, including during Paxton's 2023 impeachment trial.

The senator said she filed for divorce on "biblical grounds," according a post on her X account. She filed on Thursday, court records show.

"I believe marriage is a sacred covenant and I have earnestly pursued reconciliation," she wrote on social media. "But in light of recent discoveries, I do not believe that it honors God or is loving to myself, my children, or Ken to remain in the marriage. I move forward with complete confidence that God is always working everything together for the good of those who love Him and who are called according to His purpose."

1. Paxton endured impeachment proceeding for covering up a prior affair

He wasn't making a lot of friends at the time, and I was surprised he survived the internecine squabble. In hindsight, maybe Cornyn and Co. were simply keeping their powder dry for the day Comrade Cray-Cray comes back.

Pow.

2. Was his name on the Epstein

Customer list?

[SheltieLover]

3. Good question! Did you get a look at his pix?

[Jilly_in_VA]

6. Biblical grounds? Hmm

The only one I can think of is ADULTERY. That would not surprise me in the least.

[Traildogbob]

8. He ate shell fish.

[ZZenith]

9. Her P.I. brought her photos

[LudwigPastorius]

22. "down at the Red Lobster"

Is that what Texas Baptists are calling it these days?

[CTyankee]

13. Oh, I hope so!

[Gore1FL]

21. The Bible is full of weird shit that everyone does that you shouldn't do.

And it has a few good moments.

She probably does mean adultery, but he may have planted two crops in his field, wore modern underwear, ate pork, or got a tatoo.

[Botany]

30. Biblical Grounds?

God knows I don’t want to see you face again.

[hamsterjill]

11. My guess?

He got someone pregnant who has refused to have an abortion.

[get the red out]

12. She counted the blue ones

She must have counted the little blue pills and they were disappearing FAST.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

14. Compare and contrast Ken Paxton's and Senator Paxton's reasons for this divorce

[wolfie001]

16. Yuck. One hate-filled couple

[FakeNoose]

18. Angela's announcement sounds like it was written by her preacher

Don't lawyers normally write these things?

[Grins]

23. "But in light of recent discoveries...". Oh?

WTF does that mean?? I knew of Ken’s extra curricular fucking around years ago!

So what’s new?

And of course, the obligatory:

Ken Paxton: “I ask for your prayers and privacy at this time.”

Like he was a woman who just had a miscarriage…

[lonely bird]

29. Not possible to give a shit about either of them

She played the God card and he is just an asshole.

They can both fuck off.

[wolfie001]

15. The suffering of that woman to be married to that pile of shit for so long

She must really have led one miserable life

[Grins]

24. She's no Blue Ribbon Winner either!

Wish I was at my other computer that has my info on her. She’s as big a shit as him.

[wolfie001]

28. Just like john roberts and his wife

Both piles of shit.

[Botany]

32. She is a 100% Christo Fascist. Her Wiki page shows "a Jesus wants me to be a shitty person," person.

“In February 2025, Paxton authored Senate Bill 13, which would move control of school library catalogs from librarians to boards of parents appointed by school board members, allowing parents to have any library book immediately removed from shelves until a decision by the school board.”

19. "I ask for privacy"? This dirtbag has tried to destroy

women’s lives. Just last October-
Republican AGs Want Access to Health Records of Out-of-State Abortion Seekers. Texas’ Ken Paxton Is Leading the Charge.
PUBLISHED 10/16/2024 by SHOSHANNA EHRLICH

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is seeking access to women's health records, specifically those related to reproductive healthcare, including abortions. He is challenging federal rules under HIPAA that restrict the sharing of such information with law enforcement. Paxton argues these rules unlawfully restrict state investigative authority and impede the enforcement of Texas's abortion laws.


Texas Attorney General filed suit against the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to block new privacy protections under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1995 (HIPAA) aimed at protecting patient reproductive health care information from going into effect later this year.
The Attorney General also asked the court to invalidate long-standing provisions of HIPAA that limit when a provider or a plan can provide patient protected health information in response to a government investigation without the patient’s authorization, which would give a State investigatory agency unfettered access to such information.

Let all of Paxton’s dirty life be exposed.

[Attilatheblond]

20. So, Paxton literally FAFO

Guess she had to get it over with now since some GOP legislators want to end no-fault, or any, divorce.

[ShazzieB]

26. Oh, I see.

Angela Paxton: "...in light of recent discoveries..."

Ken Paxton: "I ask for your prayers and privacy at this time." (Emphasis added by me.)

Translation: He doesn't want the rest of the world to make the discoveries Angela made and find out what a bad boy he's been.

If it looks, talks, and acts like a man with something to hide....you fill in the rest!

[no_hypocrisy]

27. John Cornyn must be pleased.

Paxton was openly challenging his seat in the Senate.

Not to mention that a messy public Paxton divorce might spook TSF from endorsing him over Cornyn.

[Botany]

31. Maybe she will move onto a Mexican Lesbian.

Just saying.
