There are no reports of Briscoe Cain being charged with, indicted for, or convicted of crimes, corruption, bribery, or financial misconduct. His career has involved several public controversies and intense political disputes:
In 2019, Twitter temporarily suspended his account after he tweeted "My AR is ready for you" to then-presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke. In 2022, several abortion funds threatened to sue Cain for defamation after he sent them cease-and-desist letters accusing them of committing criminal acts by paying for abortions in Texas; Cain refused to retract the claims. Additionally, Cain faced criticism for his role as a volunteer attorney for the Trump campaign’s unsuccessful 2020 election litigation in Pennsylvania, which a federal judge dismissed as lacking merit and evidence. In 2017, Texas Monthly named him one of the worst legislators, citing perceptions that he was uninformed.
