Walmart Stores Inc. v. Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission
Petition for certiorari denied on November 23, 2020
Disclosure: Goldstein & Russell, P.C., whose attorneys contribute to this blog in various capacities, is counsel on an amicus brief in support of the petitioners in this case.
Issue: Whether a state law that has the predominant
effect of protecting in-state retailers from out-of-state
competition is immune from constitutional scrutiny
just because it does not facially distinguish between
in-state and out-of-state businesses of the same form.
