A long-planned audit of the Texas Office of the Attorney General’s (OAG) spending may have further fueled a public spat between Acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock and Attorney General Ken Paxton already brewing over whether public education dollars may be used for schools with alleged ties to Islamic terrorist organizations and foreign adversaries.
The comptroller conducts routine audits for state agencies and the OAG was one of several slated for an audit in the fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2025. The comptroller notified the OAG of the pending audit June 10, 2025, but later granted a request to postpone and rescheduled the audit for 2026.
