State Sen. Angela Paxton, the attorney general’s wife, asked last week for the records to be sealed. A new judge brought on after the initial judge recused herself granted the request.

A Collin County judge’s reported decision could keep details of the divorce from spilling into Ken Paxton’s U.S. Senate race.
