The Texas Supreme Court upheld school mask mandates in the state on Thursday, at least temporarily.
After a judge in Travis County, which encompasses the state capital of Austin, issued a temporary restraining order rejecting Republican Governor Greg Abbott’s ban on mask mandates, the decision was appealed to the high court, which upheld the lower court’s ruling.
Attorney General Ken Paxton said the ruling wasn't a defeat.
"Recent SCOTX decision is NOT a mask-mandate loss. Not a loss for freedom-loving Texans or the Rule of Law. A common procedural move that fake news is spinning. We addressed it & will press forward. I will defend TX Law & sue every entity that violates it. We will win! Stay tuned."
