Overview
- On Dec. 2, 18 multifaith and nonreligious families filed Ashby v. Schertz‑Cibolo‑Universal City ISD in federal court in San Antonio.
- The suit seeks a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction barring districts not already enjoined from posting the Ten Commandments.
- Sixteen districts are named as defendants across major metro areas, including Katy, Clear Creek, Deer Park, Pearland and Magnolia ISDs.
- Judges Fred Biery and Orlando L. Garcia previously ruled SB 10 unconstitutional for the districts in two earlier cases, with those orders still in effect.
- Attorney General Ken Paxton continues to defend the statute, pursue appeals, and sue noncompliant districts, as the Fifth Circuit prepares to hear related appeals in January 2026.
