Texas Supreme Court

Edward J. Blum, Petitioner v. Bob Lanier

July 1, 199942 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 955

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that a district court has subject‑matter jurisdiction to enjoin a city’s use of misleading ballot language and that a qualified voter who signs an initiative petition has standing to seek such injunction, and it affirmed that the appeal was not moot under the capable‑of‑repetition‑yet‑evading‑review exception, reversing the Court of Appeals and remanding for further proceedings.
