Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed suit against Harris County over its revised guaranteed income program, the second time Paxton has sued the county over the initiative, claiming the program is "unconstitutional.

Uplift Harris, as the local program is called, is designed to give financial assistance to low-income households picked through a randomized lottery.

Paxton earlier this year struck down the county's efforts to provide monthly stipends to lower-income families. He requested the state prohibit payments under the county's pilot guaranteed income program.

After months of discussion and the adoption of similar programs by some of its neighbors, Loudoun County leadership voted down a guaranteed income pilot program. In a surprising turn of events, Loudoun County’s Board of Supervisors abandoned the pursuit of a new economic mobility pilot in a 3-5-1 vote.
