Not applicable
Answer
Paxton was not fully removed from his office after being impeached. Instead, he faced an impeachment trial in the Texas Senate, where he was acquitted of all charges. The Texas Constitution requires a two-thirds vote in the Senate to convict and remove an impeached official from office, and Paxton's trial resulted in a 19-13 vote in favor of acquittal.
