Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton closed his investigation into Superior HealthPlan Insurance on Monday after finding it did not violate Texas law in its use of private investigators (PI) to collect data on lawmakers, journalists, and private citizens.
Paxton first launched the investigation in late March, shortly after a fiery hearing in the House Committee on Delivery of Government Efficiency (DOGE) revealed that the insurance company had been performing surveillance on various individuals, including some of the lawmakers on the DOGE committee, through use of PIs — which Paxton’s investigation confirmed, although not in an illegal manner. The hearing also resulted in the firing of Superior’s CEO, Mark Sanders, after he was interrogated by representatives on the DOGE committee.
