The Texas Supreme Court has rejected a lawsuit from Dallas County challenging the constitutionality of the newly established 15th Court of Appeals. The county argued that the creation of the court, under Senate Bill 1045, violated the Texas Constitution's provision that the state should be divided into courts of appeals districts. Despite these arguments, the court ruled that the establishment of the new court is constitutional, allowing Texas to launch the statewide intermediary appeals court on September 1. The court acknowledged that Dallas County's arguments were "not implausible," but ultimately not "inevitable."
