CompFox AI Summary
This interlocutory appeal addresses a trial court's denial of a plea to the jurisdiction filed by State Defendants, comprising various Texas officials. The Plaintiffs, including G.G.E., E.M.B., G.D.E., and Disability Rights Texas (DRTx), raised claims concerning procedural and substantive due course of law under the Texas Constitution, alongside violations of the Persons with Mental Retardation Act (PMRA).
