“I’m kind of embarrassed I sold to him,” Kay Hoogland told The Tribune, noting his current controversy and the fact Paxton was indicted on two counts of securities fraud in 2015. Paxton has yet to go to trial on the charges.
Paxton and his wife, Texas state Sen. Angela Paxton, purchased a piece of land near Eden in 2021, according to a report last weekThe Salt Lake Tribune confirmed the Journal’s reporting after reviewing public property and tax records, along with sales records shared by the Weber County resident who sold the land to the Paxtons.
The deed to the parcel, as well as publicly available property records, lists the owner as Esther Blind Trust, which is the name of Paxton’s family trust listed in the Journal report. Paxton’s wife paid the property taxes on the parcel in 2021 and 2022, according to Weber County parcel search records.
In April 2021, she got a call from her real estate agent saying there was a potential buyer of the property. After agreeing to the sale price of $315,000, Hoogland saw Ken Paxton’s signature on the purchase contract, and she recognized the name as that of the Texas attorney general. Hoogland ultimately signed off on the purchase and noticed that the deed was later put in the name of Esther Blind Trust, the entity which the Paxtons used to purchase land in other states.
