Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton issued a legal opinion confirming the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts’ full authority to block taxpayer funds from going to schools tied to terrorist groups or foreign adversaries, according to a January 24 press release.
On December 12, Hancock requested an opinion from Paxton asking if schools with such ties are legally disqualified from participating in the state’s education savings account program, Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA).
