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 shocking 121 to 23, with 60 [[RINO]]s joining with [[Dem]]s to form a 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. Paxton was acquitted by a landslide in the Senate.
