Appeals court pauses order granting Hinojosa access to Abbott-Musk communications

Greg Abbott and billionaire Elon Musk. The original ruling required the governor’s office to provide access to 1,374 pages of communications by Thursday.

The stay, issued Wednesday, October 28, pauses the order while the appeals court considers Abbott’s challenge. Abbott’s office argued Hinojosa was using her legislative privileges for political purposes ahead of the November 3 gubernatorial election.
