Summary
The Texas Supreme Court held that the 100‑foot speech‑free zones imposed by temporary restraining orders around abortion clinics violated the Texas Constitution’s free‑expression guarantee because the restrictions were not the least restrictive means of protecting clinic access. Accordingly, the contempt convictions of the relators were void and they were released.
