Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is filing a petition against a New York county clerk regarding an abortion ruling.

Ken Paxton is seeking a writ of mandamus that would compel Taylor Bruck to file a Texas judgment in state court.

The dispute centers around conflicting laws in Texas and New York. Texas law said doctors not licensed to practice medicine in Texas can not provide medical care to resident of the state, as well as a Texas code which states that “a person may not knowingly perform, induce, or attempt an abortion.”
