Filed Date: Dec. 2, 2025

Clearinghouse coding in progress

Case Summary

(The summary is temporary while we research the case further). On December 18, 2025, a group of multifaith and nonreligious Texas families filed a class action lawsuit to stop the enforcement of S.B. 10, which required the display of the Ten Commandments in every classroom in public schools. The lawsuit specifically sought to stop all Texas public school districts that are not already involved in active litigation or subject to an injunction from displaying the Ten Commandments. 

S.B. 10 has already been subject to two lawsuits: Nathan v. Alamo Heights Independent School District and Cribbs Ringer v. Comal Independent School District
