Texas Supreme Court
The State of Texas, Petitioner v. Cook United, Inc., Respondents
January 13, 197114 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 175
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Civil Appeals and reinstated the temporary injunction, holding that Rule 683's requirement to state reasons for an injunction is satisfied when the injunction enforces a statutory public nuisance provision that itself declares the injury. The Court noted a limited exception to the rule and affirmed the injunction despite the appellate court's reversal. Justice McGEE dissented, and Chief Justice Calvert concurred, each noting the mandatory language of Rule 683.
