Emails obtained through a public records request by The Texas Tribune show the attorneys, along with others who left to work on Paxton’s defense, were expected to return to the agency after the impeachment trial ended. They all were back — or had plans to be back — by Oct. 9, according to the emails, but their extended absence raised concerns internally about the offices’ ability to function properly.
“Moreover, I am concerned about reports of one or more of these employees potentially soliciting business and/or practicing law outside the scope of the limited authorization granted by the OAG,” he said. A spokesperson for the Stone Hilton law firm said Stone and Hilton always intended to return briefly to the attorney general’s office after the trial, finishing some remaining work and then leave permanently to continue with their new private practice. The spokesperson, Alejandro Garcia, said Stone and Hilton believe they handled the process appropriately.
