In a deal that allows him to avoid a possible lengthy prison sentence if convicted, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has agreed to meet certain conditions in exchange for prosecutors dismissing criminal securities fraud charges lodged against him nearly a decade ago.

Those conditions include his performance of 100 hours of community service and 15 hours of legal ethical education courses. He would also be required to pay $270,000 in restitution to drop the charges and end the case that was expected to go to trial in just a few short weeks on April 15.
