Our State will be well-served by your knowledge, wisdom, and respect for the rule of law,” said Attorney General Paxton. “Throughout the years, the Office of the Attorney General has produced strong legal minds who have dedicated their talents to serving the people of Texas. I am confident Chief Justice Blacklock and Justice Sullivan will further the Court’s legacy as the finest state Supreme Court in the country.”
