Supreme Court of Texas ══════════ No. 22-0328 ══════════ Greg Abbott, in His Official Capacity as Governor of Texas, et al., Petitioners, v. La Joya Independent School District, et al., Respondents ═══════════════════════════════════════ On Petition for Review from the Court of Appeals for the Third District of Texas ═══════════════════════════════════════ PER CURIAM This case concerns the division of power between the Governor and local officials during the response to the coronavirus pandemic. The plaintiffs sought and received a temporary injunction against enforcement of a gubernatorial executive order that prohibited local mask-wearing requirements. The court of appeals affirmed the temporary injunction, and the State petitioned for review. In light of our decision today in Abbott v. Harris County, 22-0124, the petition for review is granted, the judgment of the court of appeals is vacated, the temporary injunction is dissolved, and the case is 2 remanded for further proceedings consistent with our opinion in Abbott v. Harris County. See TEX. R. APP. P. 59.1. OPINION DELIVERED: June 30, 2023
