That I, as chair of the Committee on Judiciary and Civil Jurisprudence, held our first committee of this session on March 1st, 2023, in which I extended a direct invitation to Attorney General Ken Paxton to appear in front of our committee. I can't say that I am aware of that. I may have heard it at the time. And I will say he should have been there.

Are you aware as to whether or not Attorney General Paxton accepted my invitation to appear in front of our committee? My assumption from your question is that he did not. He did not. Representative Smithy, are you aware that at that committee I issued a standing invitation to Attorney General Paxton to participate in any subsequent hearing of the committee on judiciary and

civil jurisprudence? I wasn't aware of that. Mr. Smithy, are you aware that our committee, the committee on judiciary and civil jurisprudence, held a dozen hearings, twelve hearings during the 88th legislative session in which we took public and invited testimony? I was in a number of those, even though I

wasn't on the committee. So we did a dozen, a dozen committee hearings in which our committee, on which Chairman Murr was a was a member of that standing committee, held a dozen hearings during the 88th legislative session. And to your knowledge, Representative Smithy, did the Attorney General ever participate in or appear in front of our committee? Not to not to my recollection, Mr.

Leach. That would be correct. He did not. Thank you, Representative Smithy.
