The Texas Supreme Court on Friday knocked down a legal challenge to the proposed San Antonio charter amendment, paving the way for residents to vote on the wide-sweeping measure May 6.
In a 6-3 opinion issued Friday morning, justices said the filing asked the court to interfere in an election before it takes place.
The opinion noted that legal concerns with the calling of the election could be taken up by the courts after the May election. Even so, three North Side councilmen made sure to leave council chambers rather than help pass it: they were Councilman Manny Pelaez , Councilman John Courage , and Councilman Clayton Perry .
“This precedent invites municipalities to disregard well-established election laws regarding charter amendments, protections for unborn babies, and numerous other issues, an unintended but foreseeable consequence,” O’Donnell added.

Supreme Court remembering Justice Ruth Bader GinsburgJustice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a champion for women's rights whose death ahead of the 2020 election allowed the Supreme Court to become more conservative, will be remembered during ceremonies Friday at the high court. Ginsburg, who served as a justice for 27 years and was the Supreme Court's second female member, will be remembered by some of the people who worked for her as law clerks, young lawyers who spend a year at the court working for a justice. The group includes Elizabeth Prelogar, the Biden administration's solicitor general, its top Supreme Court lawyer, as well as several judges and professors.
