The TX Senate Court of Impeachment has reconvened after lunch and defense attorney Tony Buzbee is continuing the cross-examination of Jeff Mateer, the first witness of the House Board of Managers. #txlege @TheTexanNews Image Buzbee emphasized that @georgepbush applied to reactivate his law license the day after Mateer reported his suspicions to @FBI and one day before Mateer resigned.

"Have you ever heard the saying, 'There are no coincidences in Austin'?" Buzbee said.

Back from lunch, @DanPatrick is hearing a motion from counsel for @KenPaxtonTX to clarify the application of attorney-client privilege. Paxton is on trial for his job at @TXAG after the Texas House accused him of 20 violations of his oath of office. #txlege @TheTexanNews I do not see @KenPaxtonTX in the chamber. He was here this morning and entered pleas of not guilty to the charges through his attorney. #txlege @TheTexanNews
