Texas courts

Across the 18 states that have banned or tightly restricted abortion since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, questions have persisted over when doctors can perform abortions in medical emergencies.

Eighteen news organizations including The Texas Tribune have been seeking the records since 2022, when 19 children and 2 teachers were killed at Robb Elementary School.

The higher court's ruling comes as part of the church's lawsuit against SMU, which has challenged the authority UMC has over the university.

A North Texas man charged with capital murder after slipping mifepristone into his girlfriend's food signals another attempt to rein in abortion pills.

The lawsuit says the law requiring public classrooms to display the Ten Commandments "unconstitutionally pressures students into religious observance, reverence, and adoption of the state's mandated religious scripture."

The bill would prevent using nondisclosure agreements in sexual abuse and human trafficking cases.

The oversight agency missed key inspections and left prisoner complaints unresolved.

Their filing says the lawsuit that struck down in-state tuition for undocumented students was "contrived" to keep their voices out.

The base salary for state judges hasn't changed or adjusted for inflation since 2013, ranking Texas second-to-last for judicial salaries in the country.

The House advanced a measure that would ask voters to amend the state Constitution to tighten the state's bail laws, setting up a major policy win for Gov. Greg Abbott.
