Earlier this year the Federal Communications Commission approved carrier T-Mobile's merger with Sprint. The deal has been in the pipeline for a long time now, and T-Mobile is hoping that things will wind up before its current CEO John Legere steps down next year. While the FCC gave the go-ahead to the two companies, they're still facing resistance from the state attorney generals who believe that the merger will raise prices for customers. Today, T-Mobile (NASDAQ:TMUS) and Sprint (NYSE:S) have secured a win as Texas attorney general Ken Paxton has settled with the two companies.

In a press release, the Texas Attorney General's office has confirmed that the state has no objection to the proposed merger between carriers T-Mobile (NASDAQ:TMUS) and Sprint. This decision comes after the AG and the carriers have reached a settlement through which the new entity emerging from the T-Mobile and Sprint merger will ensure that certain conditions are met.
