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 trial court's temporary injunction, holding that the statutory declaration of injury under Article 286a satisfies the Rule 683 requirement to state reasons for an injunction. The Court also clarified that the appellate court erred in reversing the injunction on procedural grounds. Justice McGEE dissented, arguing the order violated Rule 683, while Chief Justice CALVERT concurred, recognizing an exception for state‑initiated public nuisance injunctions.
