Case Summary

On January 21, 2018, eight arrestees who could not afford to post bail filed this class action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The plaintiffs sued Dallas County, the Dallas County Sheriff, the Dallas County Magistrate Judges, the Dallas County Criminal Court at Law Judges, and the Dallas County District Court Judges, under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, for violations of the Fourteenth Amendment. The plaintiffs, represented by the ACLU of Texas, the ACLU Criminal Law Reform Pr…

According to the plaintiffs, arrestees like the named plaintiffs languished in jail cells because they could not afford to pay the amount of money required for their release. They claimed that it was the policy and practice of Dallas County to require a generic, predetermined amount for bail without first considering the person’s ability to pay, and without making the substantive findings or providing the procedural due process safeguards that the Constitution required. The plaintiffs claimed that in operating a wealth-based detention system, the County had violated their equal protection and due process rights.

On the same day the complaint was filed, the plaintiffs moved for class certification and a preliminary injunction. The plaintiffs asked that the court enjoin the County from enforcing its wealth-based pretrial detention system and order the County to provide procedural safeguards and substantive findings before detaining any presumptively innocent individuals. Later that month, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, adding Faith in Texas and the Texas Organizing Project as plaintiffs. During the weeks between the filing of the initial and amended complaints, Faith in Texas and the Texas Organizing Project had paid the bond of the individuals named in the original complaints.

In April 2018, each of the defendant entities filed separate motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim and lack of jurisdiction.

Following a period of discovery, on September 18, 2018, the court issued an opinion granting and denying in part plaintiffs' motions for preliminary injunction and class certification, and granting some of the defendants' motions to dismiss while denying others. Regarding defendants' motions to dismiss, the court held that the injunction bound the Criminal Court at Law Judges because they promulgated the official policy set by the county. The court found that the Dallas County Sheriff, however, was not a proper defendant and was not bound by the injunction because she did not in any way act as a policymaker with respect to setting bail, and merely followed the instructions of the magistrate judges. Regarding plaintiffs' motions for preliminary injunction, while the court found that the plaintiffs were entitled to a preliminary injunction because they had shown a substantial likelihood of success on their equal protection and procedural due process claims, the court found that they had failed to show a substantial likelihood of success on their substantive due process claim. Specifically, under the recent Fifth Circuit precedent cited in the case, the plaintiffs had not shown that indigent plaintiffs who could not afford bail would automatically be released unless a compelling reason existed to detain them. Finally, regarding plaintiffs' motion for class certification, the court certified a class of "all arrestees who are or will be detained in Dallas County custody because they are unable to pay a secured financial condition of release."

The plaintiffs appealed this ruling, as well as the holding that the Sheriff was not bound by the preliminary injunction, to the Fifth Circuit. On December 28, 2020, the Fifth Circuit largely (with one revision) affirmed the district court's granting injunctive relief. 984 F.3d 381. The only revision concerned the District Court Judges as defendants. There, the court found that the plaintiffs lacked standing and were precluded from seeking relief because of sovereign immunity. However, the defendants filed a motion seeking a rehearing en banc, which the Fifth Circuit granted on February 25, 2021. 988 F.3d 834.

On March 31, 2023, the Fifth Circuit Court issued an opinion following the rehearing en banc written by Judge Edith H. Jones, ruling against the plaintiffs. In the decision, Judge Jones explained that a line of cases starting with Younger v. Harris necessitated court abstention from revising state bail bond procedures when three factors were met: 1) the federal proceeding would interfere with an ongoing state judicial proceeding; (2) the state has an important interest in regulating the subject matter of the claim; and (3) the plaintiff has an adequate opportunity in the state proceedings to raise constitutional challenges. The court found that all three factors were met here, and as such, ruled that the federal court should never have gotten involved in the first place. Additionally, Judge Jones explained that SB6, a new state law on bail procedures that passed while the en banc rehearing was pending, effectively mooted the case. The case was accordingly dismissed.

Judge David C. Godbey of the Northern District of Texas dismissed the case without prejudice on April 25, 2023 in accordance with the Fifth Circuit ruling.

On July 31, 2023, plaintiffs filed a petition for writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States, seeking review of the Fifth Circuit's ruling. On January 8, 2024, the Supreme Court denied the petition for writ of certiorari. 2024 WL 71911 (Mem). The case is now closed.
