The State of Texas, Petitioner v. Shoppers World, Inc., Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Civil Appeals, holding that Section 4a of Article 286a is ambiguous and must be interpreted to require only the purchaser's written emergency certificate, not an objective determination by the seller, thereby invalidating the trial court's injunction. The Court also upheld the statute's constitutionality under this interpretation, while a concurring justice warned that the statute may be unconstitutional.
