Texas Supreme Court Stops Harris County Clerk From Sending Out  Millions of Unsolicited Mail-In Ballot Applications

David LeDoux

The Texas Supreme Court unanimously concluded that the Texas Election Code does not authorize Harris County Clerk Chris Hollins to send out over two million unsolicited mail-in ballot applications and remanded the case to the trial court to issue a temporary injunction that prohibits Hollins from his planned, unlawful mass-mailing.

The Court found that the Texas Election Code does not authorize an early-voting clerk to send an application to vote by mail to a voter who has not requested one and that a clerk’s doing so results in irreparable injury to the State.

They granted the State’s petition for review, reversed the court of appeals’ judgment, remanded the case to the trial, and ordered a temporary injunction prohibiting the Harris County Clerk from mass-mailing unsolicited ballot applications to voters.
