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

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the lower courts and held that the City of San Antonio's blanket denial of parade permits to the Iranian Muslim Organization and other groups was an unconstitutional content‑based prior restraint on First Amendment speech. The Court found the City failed to meet the heavy burden required to justify such a restraint and therefore abused its discretion in denying a temporary mandatory injunction, remanding the case for further proceedings.
