Motor Vehicle Board of the Texas Department of Transportation, Petitioner v. El Paso Independent Automobile Dealers…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the Motor Vehicle Board did not waive its right to appeal the trial court’s declaration that the Texas “Blue Law” was unconstitutional, affirmed the Board’s standing despite a naming misnomer, and found that the Board preserved error and that the local officials’ voluntary dismissal did not moot the appeal, thus reversing the appellate court and remanding for merits review.
