Dear John,

Today, the federal appeals court approved the filing of Texas Values friend of the court "amicus brief" on behalf of Texas State Senator Phil King and Texas State Representative Candy Noble (the legislators who filed and championed the passage of the Texas Ten Commandments law in 2025) supporting the Texas Ten Commandments law at the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.

The legal amicus brief was filed on December 23rd, last week, but the ACLU had opposed the filing of the brief (which is highly unusual in such cases) requiring the court to issue an order on this matter specifically. The legal amicus brief filed by Texas Values can be found here. 

Texas Values Attorney Jonathan Saenz released the following quote:

“It is an honor to represent the Texas Ten Commandment law authors Senator Phil King and Representative Candy Noble in this important friend of the court (amicus) legal brief supporting this important law in court. We trust that the federal 5th Circuit Court of Appeals will agree with the historical and traditional value of the Ten Commandments and allow the law to stand.”  

The Texas  Values Legal and Policy team members will be present at the January 20th en banc hearing at the 5th Circuit in New Orleans.
