Yes, he is. He has a law degree and passed the bar. Attorneys general are not always required to be attorneys. The US AG is not, though many states do have requirements. (I don't believe Texas does.) An Attorney General is the manager of a department. The actual lawsuits are filed by employees on their behalf. (Plaintiffs generally do not represent themselves, even if they are themselves attorneys.)
