(The Center Square) – The Texas Supreme Court on Tuesday issued an administrative stay to temporarily block Harris County’s “Uplift Harris” guaranteed income pilot program from going into effect, granting a request filed earlier in the day by Attorney General Ken Paxton.

This is after two lower courts, the 165th District Court and the 14th Court of Appeals, denied his request for a temporary injunction, ruling in favor of Harris County in a lawsuit Paxton filed to stop it from going into effect.
