Attorney General Ken Paxton has introduced an email tipline for the public to report suspected violations of Texas election law. The initiative comes as part of a broader effort to maintain election integrity ahead of the March primary. Paxton also released a legal advisory outlining key aspects of election law.
In his advisory, Paxton stated, “Significant growth of the noncitizen population in Texas and a pattern of partisan efforts to illegally weaponize voter registration and the voting process to manipulate electoral outcomes have created urgent risks to local, state, and federal elections. The following guidance clarifies and emphasizes several key aspects of election law.”
Paxton emphasized his commitment to safeguarding elections: “Under my watch, there will be no stolen elections in Texas. Free and fair elections are a cornerstone of a thriving republic, and with the authority granted to my office by the Legislature, we will stop at nothing to uncover and stop any illegal voting activity,” he said. “I invite all Texans to report suspected violations at our tipline, [email protected]. Your liberties and your representation in our government depend on secure elections. I will continue to protect the integrity of your vote and your voice.”
The advisory is intended for both citizens and governmental entities seeking clarification on who can register to vote, how voting may be conducted, and other requirements under Texas law. Violations can result in penalties such as jail time or fines.
The Attorney General’s office operates through 117 offices across Texas supporting its various divisions according to its official website. The agency employs more than 4,000 people across 38 divisions—including about 750 attorneys who manage over 30,000 cases each year (source). Its responsibilities include upholding state laws, providing legal support for government entities, defending residents through enforcement actions like consumer protection measures (source), coordinating among divisions such as child support enforcement and consumer protection (source), and offering services ranging from legal counsel for the state to prevention of consumer fraud (source).
The public can review the full advisory online or report suspected violations by emailing [email protected].
