State District Judge Rick Kennon has temporarily blocked the Round Rock school district from enforcing its mask mandate.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who sued the school district along with several others, declared "Another WIN!" in his legal fight against school districts that have defied Gov. Greg Abbott's executive order banning schools from requiring masks.
"The Court finds that the State of Texas is thus likely to prevail on the merits and that a temporary restraining order is required to preserve the status quo and to prevent the irreparable harm of the continued violation of state law absent injunctive relief," Kennon's Tuesday order said.
A hearing on whether to extend the order will take place at 9 a.m. Sept. 28.
Round Rock ISD officials respond
Round Rock school district leaders said they would "comply with any lawfully issued court order."
