Texas
These are the cases with Texas implications yet to be decided by the Supreme Court this term
As folks in Texas and throughout the nation wait to see if the U.S. Supreme Court docket overturns federal abortion protections, there are additionally a handful of different pending opinions from the excessive court docket with Texas implications, from immigration to gun management.
There are 13 selections nonetheless to go in instances that had been argued this time period, with bulletins anticipated by the top of June. Steve Vladeck, the Charles Alan Wright Chair in Federal Courts on the College of Texas Faculty of Legislation, shed some perception on the remaining instances with Texas ties:
‘Stay in Mexico’ coverage: Biden v. Texas
The “Stay in Mexico” coverage, formally titled Migrant Safety Protocols, requires immigrants searching for asylum to remain in Mexico whereas they look ahead to an immigration decide to contemplate their utility.
“This can be a actually difficult administrative regulation case. Mainly, the guts of the difficulty is whether or not the Biden administration dotted the I’s and crossed the T’s when it rescinded this deeply controversial Trump-era program,” Vladeck mentioned. “And a federal district decide right here in Texas mentioned no and principally required the Biden administration to maintain on pursuing this coverage – a fairly radical assertion of judicial energy.
“What’s fascinating about this case is there’s a choice that flew underneath the radar a few weeks in the past, a case referred to as Garland v. Gonzalez. However really, it could have foretold what the court docket’s about to do within the Stay in Mexico case. On this little observed technical opinion, the court docket held that the federal courts basically lack the ability to listen to these sorts of lawsuits the place anybody apart from an affected immigrant, him or herself, is difficult immigration insurance policies on this type of foundation.
“So it’s doable that the last word choice we get in Biden v. Texas goes to be a dodge, the place the court docket really doesn’t rule by some means on the deserves of the rescission of stay in Mexico, simply because the federal courts couldn’t hear Texas’ lawsuit. That might be a short-term win for President Biden. However going ahead, it might make it loads more durable for anybody to problem immigration insurance policies with which they disagreed.”
Gun management: New York Rifle Affiliation v. Bruen
This court docket, in its largest gun management case since 2008, will take into account whether or not states that require licenses to hold in public are violating the Second Modification, Vladeck mentioned.
“Texas clearly just isn’t going to be immediately affected by that ruling, as a result of we already enable public carry,” he mentioned. “However I believe the hot button is that what the court docket says about what the Second Modification does and doesn’t prohibit goes for use by of us right here in Texas to justify maybe much more permissive gun guidelines and gun rules, however the persevering with fallout from the Uvalde problem.”
Faculty vouchers: Carson v. Makin
And in a choice handed down by the excessive court docket Tuesday, it handed faculty alternative advocates a serious victory by ruling {that a} Maine tuition help program should cowl non secular colleges in a case that would have implications for the push for varsity vouchers in Texas.
In a 6-3 vote within the case Carson v. Makin, “the conservatives, led by Chief Justice Roberts, held that Maine, as soon as it selected to fund nonsectarian personal colleges, couldn’t exclude non secular colleges with out violating the free train clause of the Structure,” Vladeck mentioned.
“And I believe that has monumental implications for any state that gives any type of tuition help or voucher program for personal colleges, as a result of it principally says in case you’re going to open your pocketbooks as a state to these sorts of packages, you possibly can’t exclude non secular colleges.”

Texas A&M will be without its leading scorer for this weekend’s top-10 matchup against Alabama. The Aggies listed senior point guard Wade Taylor IV as out in its SEC-mandated availability report on Friday night.
Meanwhile, Alabama will be without backup guard Houston Mallette, who was listed as out for the matchup against Texas A&M. Earlier on Friday, Alabama head coach Nate Oats said Mallette is having his knees evaluated as the team decides whether or not to sit him for the rest of the season and apply for a medical redshirt.
Taylor leads Texas A&M in both scoring (15.7 points per game) and assists (4.8 per game. The 6-foot, 180-pound senior has scored in double digits in all of his 13 games this season. During Texas A&M’s 100-75 loss at Alabama last year, the Tide held Taylor to 10 points and five rebounds on 4 of 15 shooting, including 2 of 5 from beyond the arc.
According to a report from KWKT FOX 44, Taylor experienced knee tightness during Texas A&M’s 80-60 win over Texas on Jan. 4. The guard left for the locker room during the second half against the Longhorns but was able to return to action, finishing with 13 points on 25 minutes. Taylor did not play during the Aggies’ 80-78 win over Oklahoma on Wednesday. He was replaced by senior Manny Obaseki in the starting lineup.
With Taylor out, Texas A&M leaned on senior guard Zhuric Phelps, who scored a career-high 34 points against Oklahoma, making 11 of 25 shots from the floor, including 6 of 10 from beyond the arc.
Alabama (13-2, 2-0 in the SEC) is set to tip off against Texas A&M (13-2, 2-0) on Saturday at 7 p.m. CT inside Reed Arena in College Station, Texas. The game will be televised on ESPN.
On Friday night, two of college football’s iconic programs will meet with a spot in the College Football Playoff National Championship game on the line.
The Ohio State Buckeyes and Texas Longhorns have their fingerprints all over the sport’s history yet somehow have squared off only three times.
A Fiesta Bowl meeting after the 2008 season. A home-and-home series in 2005 and 2006. That’s all the history the Buckeyes and Longhorns share on the gridiron — until they take the field in the CFP Semifinal at the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic on Friday.
Here’s how each of those three matchups played out.
Jan. 5, 2009: Texas 24, Ohio State 21
Although the 2009 Fiesta Bowl experienced a low-scoring first 30 minutes (the Buckeyes led 6-3 at halftime), the fourth quarter offered an ending to remember.
First, Ohio State roared back into the lead with 17 unanswered points after entering the final period trailing 17-6. With just two minutes to respond, Texas put together an impressive 11-play drive that culminated in quarterback Colt McCoy finding wide receiver Quan Cosby for the winning touchdown with 16 seconds remaining.
The McCoy and Cosby connection dominated all game, with the pair linking up 14 times for 171 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
Sept. 9, 2006: Ohio State 24, Texas 7
McCoy’s first encounter with Ohio State wasn’t as pleasant as the Fiesta Bowl.
In a battle of the then-No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the land, it was the top-ranked Buckeyes who made an early-season statement against the defending national champion Longhorns on the road in Austin. Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith, who would go on to win the Heisman Trophy that season, threw for 269 yards and two touchdowns as the Buckeyes scored in all four quarters of the win.
Sept. 10, 2005: Texas 25, Ohio State 22
The first meeting between the Longhorns and Buckeyes came with nearly the same high billing as the 2006 contest, with the two squads squaring off as the No. 2 and No. 4 teams in the country, respectively.
As in 2006, it was the higher-ranked visiting side that came out on top, although the game itself proved to be much closer. Texas jumped out to an early 10-0 lead, but Ohio State battled back and eventually entered halftime, and then the fourth quarter, ahead.
Said final quarter, however, belonged to the Longhorns. Quarterback Vince Young’s 24-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Limas Sweed proved to be the winner, with Texas adding some insurance in the game’s final moments with a safety-inducing sack of Troy Smith in the end zone.
The top-five win was the Longhorns’ first major statement in a campaign that would end with a national championship.
NORTH TEXAS – This week’s snow event will end with a “few flurries” during Friday’s morning commute, according to CBS News Texas meteorologist Jeff Ray.
“But roads will have frozen over,” Ray said.
Expect hazardous road conditions in the morning, as it will be “the worst” the roads have been since the event started on Thursday morning, Ray said.
Late in the morning, temperatures will rise above freezing, which will “help drivers get around the Metroplex,” Ray said.
A cold front is expected Friday, he said.
“We are going to have wind chills in the 20s all day,” Ray said. “By nightfall on Friday, temperatures will drop quickly and water will re-freeze on the roads across the evening. This ice will remain until mid-morning on Saturday before the sun and warmer temperatures in the mid-40s clear the roadways.”
