Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is calling on Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan to resign, saying the Republican from Beaumont was "in an obviously intoxicated state" while presiding over the House.

Video from the House floor at the end of a 14-hour session on Friday night showed Phelan appearing to slur his words on the House floor while debating an amendment to a Senate Bill.

FOX 7 Austin's Rudy Koski joined LiveNOW's Lexie Petrovic to discuss Paxton's calls for resignation and other significant items from the 2023 Texas legislative session.
