Selective enforcement is the name of the game. Ken Paxton won't be using this rule to take over a school district in Bastrop.

Well he won't be doing anything regardless, since he's currently suspended. Texas law dictates that anyone impeached by the state House (such as Paxton) is suspended from office while they await trial in the Senate.

Party's over and Paxton is free to go back to business as usual.
