Iranian Muslim Organization, Petitioners v. City of San Antonio, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the lower courts and remanded, holding that the City of San Antonio's blanket denial of parade permits to the Iranian Muslim Organization constituted an unconstitutional content‑based prior restraint that failed to meet the heavy burden required for such restrictions, and that the denial of a temporary mandatory injunction was an abuse of discretion. The Court also found the case was not moot under the "capable of repetition, yet evading review" doctrine. Justice Barrow dissented, arguing the appeal was moot and should be dismissed.
