Summary
The Texas Supreme Court held that the Public Utility Commission has exclusive jurisdiction over the rate‑related dispute between Entergy and the ratepayers, vacated the trial court's denial of Entergy's motions, and conditionally granted a writ of mandamus directing dismissal of the suit. The Court based its decision on the plain language of the Public Utility Regulatory Act granting the PUC exclusive original jurisdiction.
