State files document in support of motion to dismiss cities from suit |
|
|
The Office of the Texas Attorney General on March 1 filed a reply in support of its Feb. 2 motion to dismiss four cities from their own lawsuit claiming infringement of First Amendment rights because of criminal penalties for violating the state's open meetings law. The cities of Alpine, Big Lake, Pflugerville, Rockport and Wichita Falls were joined in the lawsuit by 15 individual city officials. [Big Lake City Council voted to withdraw from the lawsuit in December, a few days after the suit was filed.]
The state's reply by Solicitor General James C. Ho was filed on behalf of the State of Texas and Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, Pecos. The reply in essence says the First Amendment protects citizens against government, not government against citizens, so the cities' lawsuit is groundless.
