DALLAS — A new Texas appeals court decision issued Thursday sided with school districts in the ongoing battle over mask mandates.
The decision came after 19 school districts — including Dallas, Lancaster, DeSoto and Fort Worth — sued the state last year over the governor’s ban on school mask mandates.
A trial court previously granted a temporary injunction on the governor’s ban on mask mandates, but attorneys for the state appealed. On Thursday, Texas’ Third Court of Appeals agreed with the trial court’s decision, reinstating the injunction.
