William Peterson appointed as Texas’ newest Solicitor General

AUSTIN (KXAN) — On Friday, the Texas Attorney General’s Office announced the appointment of Texas’ newest Solicitor General.

AG Ken Paxton welcomed William Peterson, who will serve as the 10th Solicitor General of Texas next month.

The Solicitor General determines which division within the Office of the Attorney General will handle an appeal in a case.

“I am honored to serve as Solicitor General of Texas,” Peterson said. “I deeply appreciate the opportunity and the confidence placed in me by Attorney General Paxton. Aaron Nielson has been an excellent Solicitor General for the people of Texas, and I look forward to continuing that work alongside the talented attorneys at the Office of the Attorney General.”

Nielson will leave the position to become a tenured professor at the University of Texas School of Law upon finishing his time as Solicitor General.

“Serving as Texas Solicitor General has been one of the highlights of my professional life,” Nielson said. “I’m grateful to General Paxton and the people of Texas and am confident that Will Peterson will serve with distinction.”
