“This is a step in the right direction and yet another victory against the left’s total war on American energy,” said Attorney General Paxton. “Under my watch, there will be zero tolerance for corporations who illegally boycott the Texas oil and gas industry. Wells Fargo continues to lead by example by recommitting itself to maximizing returns for investors and discontinuing its anti-energy goals due to our efforts. I will continue to press forward to ensure that every bank and financial institution that wants to do business with Texas follows in their footsteps.”
