State public corruption prosecutors have closed their investigation into possible ethics violations against new Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton without filing charges.
Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg, who oversees the unit, said in a statement Thursday that investigators "did not find any additional criminal activity over which our office has venue."
She referred the case to prosecutors in Collin and Dallas counties.
Paxton won a bitter Republican primary, then coasted through November's general election, despite being reprimanded and fined $1,000 by state financial regulators in May.
They found that Paxton, then a state senator, was paid for investment advising at times between 2004 and 2012 but didn't register with the state.
Paxton blamed an administrative oversight, but largely avoided the media between being fined and winning his new office.
