Patrick, who will preside over the trial, will rely on former state appeals court Judge Marc Brown for advice during the proceedings.
, The Texas Tribune’s daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.on Friday named Marc Brown, a former state appeals court judge, to be his counsel for the upcoming impeachment trial of suspended Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Patrick serves as the presiding officer of the trial — effectively the judge — and trial rules give him the option of selecting his own legal counsel. Patrick said Friday he tapped Brown “after several months of searching.” The trial is scheduled to begin Sept. 5. The House impeached Paxton in May, alleging a yearslong pattern of misconduct and lawbreaking. He was immediately suspended from office on a temporary basis, and the trial will determine whether he will be permanently removed.
“Legal counsel for the presiding officer may consult on matters related to all rulings, orders, mandates, writs, questions of evidence, and processes authorized by the rules of the court of impeachment,” the rules say, adding that any counsel “must be knowledgeable about the Texas Rules of Evidence.”
