On June 6, 2023, it was announced that Tony Buzbee, a prominent [[Houston]] trial attorney in his own right, will lead Paxton’s impeachment defense.<ref>https://www.texastribune.org/2023/06/06/ken-paxton-impeach-tony-buzbee/</ref>  Not surprisingly, Buzbee claims that the whole process was a "sham" and that "the Senate will not vote" to remove Paxton from office, with the only question remaining as to whether the articles will be dismissed early (similar to both United States Senate trials after both Trump impeachments) or a protracted trial will take place (Buzbee has bragged that, if the latter, they have plans to call "66 witnesses" and the trial will last an entire year).  Dan Cogdell, another trial attorney, also joined Paxton's defense team.  In addition, no fewer than six staff members at OAG, including its Solicitor General and Deputy Solicitor General, have taken leaves of absence from their duties in order to support Paxton and assist in his defense.<ref>http://quorumreport.com/quorum_report_daily_buzz_2023/six_employees_in_the_office_of_the_attorney_genera_buzziid31633.html</ref>
