Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued the federal government over its decision to classify the dunes sagebrush lizard as endangered, claiming the decision is unlawful and based on faulty data.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of the Interior, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Biden administration officials over the classification of the dunes sagebrush lizard as endangered. Paxton argues that the federal government unlawfully classified the lizard as endangered in violation of the Endangered Species Act , claiming they failed to rely on the best scientific and commercial data available when making their designation.
He also asserts that the regulation did not consider ongoing voluntary conservation efforts at the local and state level, which could negatively impact economic development in the Permian Basin.\Paxton had previously notified the Biden Administration in late July that the listing violated the Endangered Species Act and threatened legal action if it was not reversed
