Texas AG's office sues Harris County clerk over Meta ad targeting; county officials defend the outreach
The Office of the Texas Attorney General sued Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth and communications director Irene Nunez over voter-information advertisements using Meta audience interests. The state alleges that the targeting favors selected racial and ethnic groups and violates the Texas Constitution. County officials defend the outreach as lawful and intended to provide election information to eligible voters. Late on October 29, the clerk's office said it deactivated the audience subsets to avoid distractions, while continuing to defend its actions.
