In May 2023, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was among those who called for Dade's resignation after a video of him slurring his speech and struggling to stand went viral.

"After much consideration, it is with profound disappointment that I call on Seapker Dade Phelan to resign at the end of this legislative session," Paxton said in a statement.

"Texans were dismayed to witness his performance presiding over the Texas House in a state of apparent debilitating intoxication."

Paxton went on to say that Dade's conduct "negatively impacted the legislative process" and also "constitutes a failure to live up to his duty to the public."

Dade has not addressed the allegations at this time but spokeswoman Cait Wittman called Paxton's statement a "last call effort to save face," according to Fox News.

Outside of politics, Dade is known for his career as a real estate developer and works at his family's "fourth-generation commercial real estate development firm."
