Another judge has blocked Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's attempts to stop municipalities from adopting cannabis decriminalization ordinances. Hays County District Judge Sherri Tibbe this week dismissed a suit Paxton filed to end San Marcos' decriminalization policy, according to a statement from progressive organizing group Ground Game Texas.
The case's dismissal is the second courtroom defeat for Paxton as he's sought to shut down municipal marijuana reform policies.
Another judge has blocked Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's attempts to stop municipalities from adopting cannabis decriminalization ordinances. “Judge Tibbe rightly recognized Paxton has no legal basis for interfering with the will of local voters or municipal governments,” Catina Voellinger, Ground Game's executive director, said in statement." is a welcome reminder that this is a winning movement, and one we look forward to continuing to build across the state with local partners like Mano Amiga."
Tibbe's ruling is the second courtroom defeat for Paxton as he's sought to overturn locally enacted marijuana reform policies. A state district judge in Travis County last monthfiled by Paxton's office. That city argued that it never attempted to enforce a decriminalization ordinance approved by voters because it contradicted state law.
