Editors’ note, July 1, 2023: John Scott was appointed as interim Attorney General in May after Ken Paxton was impeached and suspended from office. On July 10, Scott resigned and Gov. Greg Abbott appointed Angela Colmenero. Salaries data on this site was last updated July 1, which is why Scott is still shown as Attorney General.
