Represented by a former attorney for Ken Paxton, a Wyoming-based group is fighting to keep its role in the pre-Election Day mailer campaign from further scrutiny.

The Texas Supreme Court has halted a deposition aimed at exposing who is behind political mailers smearing a transgender advocacy group.

The state high court paused the questioning ordered by a lower court judge just 15 minutes before it was scheduled to begin, delaying an effort to uncover who produced and financed the mailers.
