The resolution for articles of impeachment was brought before the House on May 27, 2023.<ref>https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/88R/billtext/pdf/HR02377I.pdf#navpanes=0</ref>  For over four hours the Committee laid out the basis behind the impeachment charges.  Committee Chair Murr took questions from various Representatives, who also spoke both for and against the resolution.  Eventually, the House voted 121-23 (with two Present Not Voting, one Excused Absence, and two Absent) to impeach AG Paxton (notably, but according to custom involving major issues, Speaker Phelan voted to impeach).  One member who voted to impeach, later entered a Statement of Vote in the House Journal that, had each article been subject to a separate vote, he would not have voted for three of the articles, specifically Articles XII, XIII and XIV.  The two "absent" members also recorded Statements of Vote indicating that had they been present, they would have voted to impeach.<ref>https://journals.house.texas.gov/HJRNL/88R/HTML/88RDAY73FINAL.HTM</ref>
