A federal judge ruled that Texas' law requiring Ten Commandments displays in public school classrooms violates the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
A federal judge blocked 14 public school districts — including Conroe ISD — to stop the Ten Commandments displays.
Paxton filed a lawsuit against the Round Rock and Leander school districts in the 425th District Court of Williamson County for the districts' “open refusal to comply with” Texas' Senate Bill 10. The law is currently enjoined in a number of small school districts because of ongoing litigation.
