Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton called on Gov. Greg Abbott to fire Acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock after Hancock sent a letter questioning Paxton’s legal handling of a Muslim school accepted into the Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA) program.
In a March 24 letter, Hancock addressed a temporary restraining order (TRO) by a federal judge that extended the TEFA student application deadline until March 31 and required the comptroller’s office to provide the Muslim schools that had sued over the matter “the means necessary to submit TEFA applications, including any required registration access.”
