The state’s highest criminal court Wednesday morning dismissed all three appeals filed on Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s behalf, saying his lawyers neglected to include everything needed on the petitions.

The Court of Criminal Appeals gave Paxton 10 days to add what was missing — a copy of the concurring opinion from the Dallas-based 5th Court of Appeals, which in June rejected Paxton’s request to dismiss criminal charges related to private business deals from 2011 and 2012.

Defense lawyers corrected the mistake a little more than two hours after the court issued the unsigned order, which was opposed by Judges Barbara Hervey and Michael Keasler.

"We inadvertently left off attaching to our petition a copy of the concurring opinion from the court of appeals. We have cured the oversight and have refiled," Paxton lawyer Philip Hilder said.

The error isn’t expected to significantly delay the handling of Paxton’s appeal.

"They’re called rules for a very good reason, because they apply to everyone," prosecutor Brian Wice said of the dismissal.

Paxton is seeking to dismiss, before trial, two charges of securities fraud accusing him of encouraging investors to buy private stock in Servergy Inc. without disclosing that the McKinney technology company was paying him to solicit investors. The first-degree felony has a maximum punishment of 99 years in prison.

A Collin County grand jury also charged Paxton with failing to register with state securities regulators, a third-degree felony that carries a maximum of 10-year prison term.

In April, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil lawsuit that accused Paxton of fraud for his role in touting Servergy as an investment.

Paxton has asked that lawsuit to be dismissed, and U.S. District Judge Amos Mazzant III will hear arguments on the matter Friday morning in his Sherman courtroom. Mazzant isn’t expected to rule on the request during the hearing.

A trial on the SEC’s accusations has been tentatively set for Sept. 11, 2017, and is expected to last about two weeks.

Lawyers have said a trial on Paxton’s criminal charges, if upheld by the Court of Criminal Appeals, could take place in the spring of 2017.
