Ken Paxton’s decade-old decision to block public records on animal research at Texas A&M is reigniting controversy as his Senate campaign faces fresh scrutiny. Back in 2015, as Attorney General, he denied requests for documents tied to over 400 dogs suffering during experiments, citing veterinarian-client confidentiality—a move critics call a cover-up. The issue resurfaced this week on social media, fueling attacks from opponents and activists.

James Talarico, is capitalizing on the moment with rallies, while Paxton’s team remains silent.
