The Texas Supreme Court issued an administrative stay Friday, temporarily pausing efforts to determine who sent text messages and mailers promoting transgender resources, according to the supplied report. The court action involved a case brought by Texas Transgender Student Union LLC.
The stay followed a deposition that, the report says, linked the text messages to a Republican fund. It does not provide details about the deposition, identify the fund, or explain the nature of the reported connection. The material also does not establish whether the mailers and texts had the same sender.
A day before the high court’s order, a Travis County judge had ruled that attorneys for the Transgender Education Network of Texas could question a representative of a Wyoming company. That company’s name appeared as the return address on the mailers. The supplied text does not identify the company or describe what information attorneys sought to obtain in the deposition.
An administrative stay pauses proceedings or an action while a case is considered; the brief source excerpt does not say how long the pause will remain in effect, what issue the Texas Supreme Court is reviewing, or whether it has made any ruling on the underlying dispute. It also does not include statements from the court, the advocacy organizations, the Wyoming company, or the Republican fund referenced in connection with the texts.
The available account therefore establishes only a temporary pause and the procedural events preceding it. The incomplete source material does not provide enough information to characterize the messages’ contents beyond saying they promoted transgender resources, or to determine who was responsible for sending them.
