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 given the respondent's interpretation, which requires only a purchaser's written emergency certificate, rendering the trial court's injunction invalid. The Court also found the provision void for indefiniteness on its second clause but limited that holding to the specific interpretation adopted.
