Austin real estate developer Nate Paul is serving ten days in jail for contempt of court in a long-running civil lawsuit.

Austin real estate investor Nate Paul reported to Travis County jail on Thursday night for a 10-day sentence for contempt of court, avoiding a possible media frenzy by showing up earlier than his 10 a.

Paul, an associate of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, will serve 10 days in the Travis County Jail starting on Nov. 15.

The embattled investor has been fighting the sentence but was ordered to report to jail in Austin related to a dispute with the Mitte Foundation.

Nate Paul surrendered himself to the Travis County Sheriff's Office to begin a 10-day jail sentence for criminal contempt of court, after being found guilty of perjury and violating an injunction in a lawsuit against a charity.
