In late May 2023, Phelan was slurring his speech while presiding over a session on the House floor, apparently because he was intoxicated.  Independent news services reported that "Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan slurred speech on House floor," replete with video.<ref name="Intoxicated">https://www.kwtx.com/video/2023/05/23/texas-house-speaker-dade-phelan-slurred-speech-house-floor/</ref>

Illustrating how he is a [[Judas politician]], Phelan three days later led an ambush impeachment of the popular and recently elected [[conservative]] Texas Attorney General [[Ken Paxton]] on May 27, 2023. The vote against Paxton was a stunning 121 to 23, with 60 Republicans joining the majority to impeach. Paxton was immediately suspended from his duties upon the House impeachment. The matter now heads to the state Senate, which is 19-12 Republican, presided over by the Republican Lieutenant Governor [[Dan Patrick]], a political associate of Paxton who has not spoken out on the matter. The Senate membership includes [[Angela Paxton]], Ken Paxton's wife. Senate rules require twenty-one senators to convict.
