APPEAL FROM THE 53RD DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
BEFORE JUSTICES GOODWIN, BAKER, AND TRIANA
AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED AND RENDERED IN PART –
OPINION BY JUSTICE BAKER
CONCURRING AND DISSENTING OPINION BY JUSTICE GOODWIN
This is an appeal from the interlocutory order signed by the trial court on December 20, 2021.
Having reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments, the Court holds that there was no
reversible error in the portion of the trial court’s order granting a temporary injunction and
denying the plea to the jurisdiction regarding appellees’ due-course-of-law claim. Therefore, the
Court affirms the portion of the trial court’s order granting the temporary injunction and denying
the plea to the jurisdiction regarding appellees’ due-course-of-law claim. The Court further
holds that there was reversible error in the remaining portions of the order denying the plea to
the jurisdiction. Therefore the Court reverses the remaining portions of the trial court’s order
denying the plea to the jurisdiction, and renders judgment dismissing for want of jurisdiction
appellees’ equal-protection claim, free-speech claim, and request for declaratory relief regarding
University Interscholastic League Rule 443. Appellants shall pay all costs relating to this appeal,
both in this Court and in the court below.
