AUSTIN –Attorney General Ken Paxton continues to fight in court to defend Gov. Abbott’s Executive Order GA-39, which prohibits local entities from enforcing vaccine mandates.
A press release states San Antonio ISD blatantly violated the law by forcing employees to get vaccinated or be terminated from employment.
“We’re confident the court will side with the law and not attempts of defiance," Paxton said. "This will be settled before the district’s deadline of October 18. The governor has made it very clear – the way through the pandemic is through personal responsibility, not government mandates.”
Earlier this month, Paxton issued an opinion declaring Texans are free from local government mandates requiring face coverings and also filed suit against several school districts requiring face masks.
