A day after Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick announced the appointment, Marc Brown declined it, citing a campaign contribution he made to Paxton's GOP primary opponent in 2021.
Former Houston judge, Marc Brown, denied Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick's offer to be an adviser during Ken Paxton's impeachment trial.
Just a day earlier, Patrick had named Marc Brown, a former Republican justice on the 14th Court of Appeals from Harris County, to be his counsel during the trial scheduled to begin Sept. 5. In a letter Saturday to Patrick declining the appointment, Brown cited the $250 contribution that he and his wife made in 2021 to the campaign of Eva Guzman, a former state Supreme Court justice who tried to unseat Paxton in the Republican primary. Brown said he had not actively campaigned for any candidate since becoming a district judge in 2010."I did not recall that during our meetings with your staff," Brown wrote about the contribution.
