Southern States Transportation, Inc., Petitioner v. the State of Texas, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that whether Southern States Transportation’s shipments were interstate or intrastate commerce is a factual question and that the district court’s findings were supported by the evidence, thereby affirming the district court’s judgment and reversing the court of appeals. The Court also found the State’s additional arguments without merit and declined to remand. Justice Gonzalez dissented, arguing that the issue is a matter of law and that the court of appeals was correct.
