Texas State Board of Examiners in Optometry, Petitioner v. Ellis Carp, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that it has jurisdiction to review the district court's temporary injunction and reversed the injunction as improperly granted. The Court affirmed that the Board's statutory authority and its interpretation of the Corporate Practice Rule are valid, and it declined to consider the Board's interpretation of the advertising provision because it was not essential to the relief. The decision emphasizes that equitable relief is unavailable where no immediate irreparable injury is shown and pending administrative action remains.
