No matter how his impeachment trial turns out, Attorney General Ken Paxton’s state pension is not in jeopardy.
laments is Texas’ “hodgepodge of regulation,” Paxton is among an elite set of elected officials. Even if they’re impeached, convicted and booted from office, state legislators and statewide officeholders such as Paxton retain their state pensions.
Only judges, who are enrolled in a separate pension fund, lose these retirement benefits if they’re impeached and removed., or ERS, which administers not only the pension funds of politicians and judges but the retirement checks of rank-and-file state workers, does not set the guidelines for the two funds.
Such decisions are made by the Legislature, according to experts on the state pension system including lawyers, ethics advocates and an ERS spokeswoman.
