Paxton to Appeal Uplift Harris Court Decision

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is expected to appeal a court ruling that allows a Harris County low-income program to continue for now.

The "Uplift Harris" program provides $500 a month to qualifying low-income residents.

The first of those payments is scheduled to go out this coming week.

Last Thursday, a Harris County district court judge refused to grant Paxton's request for a temporary injunction against the program.

Paxton says the program is unconstitutional and an abuse of public funds.
