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.

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.

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.
