The State Bar of Texas will not discipline Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for issuing a written opinion that says county clerks do not have to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
The Texas Tribune reports the State Bar says the action is not a sign of "professional misconduct."
A complaint had been filed against Paxton by more than 200 attorneys who claimed he violated his oath of office by telling public officials they could ignore a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing the marriages.
