Overview
- The attorney general filed complaints naming both districts and their board members after they declined to display donated Ten Commandments posters.
- Paxton alleges the officials "openly" defied state law and disregarded voter expectations in announcing the lawsuits.
- A federal judge’s August preliminary injunction applies to 11 other districts but does not cover Leander or Round Rock.
- SB 10, in effect since Sept. 1, requires public school classrooms to display donated posters that meet specific size and legibility standards.
- Appeals on the injunction are set for a full Fifth Circuit hearing in January alongside a related Louisiana case, and Paxton recently brought a similar suit against Galveston ISD.
