Case Summary

Adults with developmental disabilities who were institutionalized filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas alleging that they, along with the class of similarly situated individuals, were institutionalized unnecessarily as a result of the policies of the State of Texas. There are also two organizational Plaintiffs: the Arc of Texas and the Coalition of Texans with Disabilities. The Plaintiffs alleged that Texas failed to provide adequate habilitation and support services in the community that would allow them to avoid institutionalization or transition out of institutions. They alleged that individuals with developmental disabilities must enter institutions in order to receive necessary services in Texas. Furthermore, the Plaintiffs claimed that the state systematically violated a provision of the Nursing Home Reform Act (NHRA) known as Pre-Admission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR), which would divert individuals slated to enter nursing facilities into community placements if institutionalization was deemed unnecessary. The Plaintiffs alleged violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, the federal Medicaid Act, and the Nursing Home Reform Act.

The Plaintiffs filed a complaint on December 20, 2010 and a motion for class certification on January 19, 2011. The Defendants filed a motion to abate the Plaintiffs' motion for class certification, asking the court to delay a ruling on class certification until the parties could conduct further discovery and the court could consider a motion to dismiss. The court ultimately granted this motion on September 27, 2011. Class certification is still pending in this case.

The Defendants filed a motion to dismiss on March 8, 2011, claiming that Plaintiffs lacked standing, claims against the Governor were barred by sovereign immunity, and that Plaintiffs failed to state a claim. The United States (Department of Justice) filed a brief opposing the Defendants' motion to dismiss, and on June 22, 2011, the United States moved to intervene in the case.

The Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on October 4, 2011, and the Defendants filed a second motion to dismiss in response on November 4, 2011. The United States filed an additional brief opposing the Defendants' motion soon after.

The court heard arguments on both motions on September 12, 2012 and took the motions under advisement. The court has repeatedly agreed to continue scheduled hearings and suspend deadlines and certain discovery requirements.

The court granted the United States' motion to intervene on September 20, 2012, and the United States filed its complaint in intervention. The Plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint on July 19, 2013 as well as a second amended motion for class certification.

On August 10, 2013, the Court stayed the case pursuant to a two year interim agreement that the parties had reached, which at the time was set to expire in July 2015. While the parties agreed to attempt to resolve all claims during this time, the case could be reopened at any time upon the request of any party or on the Court's own motion.

After a status conference on June 6, 2015, the parties agreed to extend the interim settlement agreement until September 30, 2015, or until a court-appointed Special Settlement Master filed a report with the court stating that settlement discussions had concluded.

While the Court did appoint a Special Settlement Master, and the parties did continue to negotiate for some time, settlement talks ultimately proved unsuccessful, and the litigation continued.

On May 17, 2016, the Court denied the Defendants' motion to dismiss. It held that the United States and organizational Plaintiffs had standing; that the Plaintiffs stated a claim; and that the Nursing Home Reform Act created a private cause of action. 189 F. Supp. 3d 620.

The Court granted class certification on May 20, 2016. The Plaintiff class was defined as: All Medicaid-eligible persons over twenty-one years of age with intellectual or developmental disabilities or a related condition in Texas who currently or will in the future reside in nursing facilities, or who are being, will be, or should be screened for admission to nursing facilities pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1396r(e)(7) and 42 C.F.R. § 483.112 et seq.

The litigation continued for years and focused largely on various discovery disputes. On June 15, 2018, the Defendants moved for summary judgment on the United States' claims in intervention, arguing that the United States lacks authority to bring an enforcement action under Title VI, the Rehabilitation Act, and Title II of the ADA. The Court denied this motion on September 27, 2018, and it explained that the United States did not have to establish its own standing to proceed because it was an intervenor here, and the original Plaintiffs' standing satisfied Article III. In that same September 27, 2018 Order, the Court terminated the Plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction and held that all requests for injunctive relief would be considered upon determination of the merits at trial.

Since then, the litigation focused largely on discovery or evidentiary disputes as the case headed towards trial. A bench trial began on October 15, 2018, and seems to have gone on until November 15, 2018. The parties have continued filing motions regarding proposed findings of fact and law, but the Court has not issued any judgment following that trial. As of August 12, 2020, the litigation is ongoing.
