Court hearing concerning four city ordinances postponed
Wednesday, August 30, 2023 by Jo Clifton
Even though both the city of Austin and the 18 plaintiffs who sued it were ready to meet again in Travis County District Court, and even though they expected that hearing to happen sometime this week, it won’t happen just yet. The Austin Monitor received an email late Tuesday afternoon from Doug Becker, attorney for the plaintiffs. Becker wrote, “A few minutes ago the District Court coordinator informed me that our case will not be heard this week because there are not enough Judges available. The hearing will have to be reset. I am very disappointed. Both sides wanted the case heard this week.” As of Tuesday evening, a hearing date had not yet been announced.
