LUBBOCK, Texas, May 27 (Reuters) - The Texas House on Saturday voted to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton, a conservative firebrand and ally of former President Donald Trump who has been accused by his fellow Republicans of abuse of office. The Texas Senate is in recess until 1 p.m. CDT (1800 GMT) on Sunday, according to its website. "I look forward to a quick resolution in the Texas Senate, where I have full confidence the process will be fair and just," he said. "Attorney General Paxton continuously and blatantly violated laws, rules, policies and procedures," Representative David Spiller said ahead of the vote. The five-member Texas House General Investigating Committee voted unanimously on Thursday to recommend that Paxton be impeached and removed from office.
