AG claims FISD defied restraining order The Texas attorney general filed a motion for contempt against Frisco ISD, alleging the district violated a restraining order against illegal electioneering, according to a March 13 filing. The motion came after Attorney General Ken Paxton sued the district for illegal electioneering Feb. 28 for several social media posts. His office also filed a temporary restraining order against the district to stop electioneering Feb. 29. What it means The Texas Government Code allows courts to punish violators by levying a fine of no more than $500 for each act of contempt, the filing states. The attorney general’s office is asking the court to find FISD in contempt of court.
