In May 2023, Slaton resigned and was later expelled from the Texas House in a unanimous vote of 147-0 after a committee report found that Slaton had provided alcohol to, and had sex with, a 19-year-old female legislative aide under his employ who was "unable to give effective consent." He was the first member of the Texas Legislature to be expelled since 1927.
