5th Circuit Seeks Dec. 2 Brief in Texas Age-Verification Case

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) must submit a brief by Dec. 2 in the state’s appeal of a district court ruling that partially blocked a Texas online safety law, said the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Tuesday in a text entry in case 24-50721. The state law required age verification to prevent kids from seeing harmful content online. Texas appealed last month after the U.S. District Court for Western Texas ruled that the law likely violates the First Amendment (see 2409050037).
