Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton can't use a state statute that he repeatedly relies on to scrutinize various companies and nonprofits.

A federal magistrate judge on Friday ruled the tool unconstitutional.

Judge Mark Lane of the Western District of Texas verbally granted a permanent injunction stopping Paxton using what’s called a “request to examine” to probe practices.

Paxton appealed directly to the state’s all-Republican Supreme Court, which is scheduled to hear arguments in the case early next year .

The attorney general's request for records was part of an investigation into a door plug that came off a Boeing 737 Max 9 plane in January .
