Texas Supreme Court
Dallas County Community College District, Petitioners v. William H. Bolton Ii, Respondents
December 2, 200549 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 180
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court held that the Texas Education Code authorized Dallas County Community College District to impose the technology fee and that the student services fee was a voluntary payment, not made under duress, thus the class is not entitled to a refund. The Court reversed the Court of Appeals judgment and entered judgment for the District. Justice BRISTER dissented, arguing that the student services fee increase was unlawful and should be refunded.
