Even other Republicans think Ken Paxton is bad at his job. This is some nice judicial snark:

Remarkably, the State’s presentation to this Court takes no position on whether the State Fair of Texas, a private entity, has the legal authority to exclude patrons carrying handguns from the Fair. This may surprise many observers, given that the ostensible purpose of this litigation is to determine whether Texas law entitles law-abiding Texans to carry handguns at the State Fair despite the Fair’s recently enacted policy to the contrary.

Go ahead and read the whole thing, though, including the footnote. It's only 4 pages of double-spaced text with huge margins. They are not even disagreeing -- although they should -- but rather just laying into Paxton for how sloppy the filings were.
