Texas Supreme Court
Louis Terrazas, Relators v. Hon. Mario E. Ramirez, Judge of the 332nd District Court in Hidalgo County…
December 17, 199135 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 256
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court held that a district court cannot impose a reapportionment plan based solely on a settlement agreement and granted mandamus to vacate the district court's judgments ordering new senatorial districts, while denying mandamus against the Attorney General and Secretary of State. Separate opinions dissent that mandamus was improper and argue the relators lacked an adequate remedy.
