Attorney General Ken Paxton has asked a U.S. District Court to enforce terms of the Texas tobacco settlement agreement requiring major cigarette companies to pay more than $125 million to the state of Texas. In a motion to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Paxton seeks to enforce the 1998 settlement agreement against by ITG Brands LLC, who in 2015 acquired four cigarette brands subject to the agreement. In his press release on the issue, Paxton sates, “these companies remain obligated under the comprehensive settlement agreement for sales of these cigarettes.” For more information, please see the Attorney General’s brief here.
