Paxton drops contractors on tech project that’s $107M over estimated cost
AUSTIN — Attorney General Ken Paxton has removed 11 technology contractors who were working on a problem-plagued upgrade to the state’s child-support data system.

In recent weeks, Paxton let go technology contract employees and at least one director assigned to work on the data project, known as T2, The Dallas Morning News confirmed.
The departures come after reports in The News and the Austin American-Statesman detailing repeated failures by state officials and the vendor, tech giant Accenture, to deliver promised work on time.
