Dallas County Community College District, Petitioners v. William H. Bolton Ii, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the Texas Education Code authorizes Dallas County Community College District to impose the technology fee and that the student‑services fee was a voluntary payment, not paid under duress, so the class could not recover it. The Court reversed the Court of Appeals and entered judgment for the District. Justice Brister, dissenting, argued that the student‑services fee required student approval and should be refundable because the payments were not voluntary.
