Texas AG Ken Paxton has filed another lawsuit against Harris County regarding the 'Uplift Harris 2.0' program, which would give $500 to nearly 2,000 residents per month for 18 months.

Uplift Harris, as the local program is called, is designed to give financial assistance to low-income households picked through a randomized lottery.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is not letting up on efforts to stop the controversial Uplift Harris program.

Paxton earlier this year struck down the county's efforts to provide monthly stipends to lower-income families. He requested the state prohibit payments under the county's pilot guaranteed income program.

It's the second time the Texas attorney general has filed suit against the county over the program that provides financial assistance to low-income families.

A revamped payment program for low-income residents of Texas’s Harris County has some of the same legal problems as the original program that was blocked by the state’s highest court, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) said in a lawsuit Thursday.
