Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
22-434 Tex. App. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2022

Issues: (1) Whether a law that criminalizes expressive speech is immunized from any First Amendment scrutiny if it also criminalizes non-expressive conduct; and (2) whether a law that punishes the repeated sending of electronic communications with intent and likely result to “harass, annoy, alarm, abuse, torment, embarrass, or offend” another is unconstitutionally overbroad.
