Texas Supreme Court Blocks Harris County from Sending Absentee Ballot Applications to Voters.

We grant the State’s petition for review, reverse the court of appeals’ judgment, and remand the case to the trial court for entry of a temporary injunction prohibiting the Harris County Clerk from mass-mailing unsolicited ballot Applications to voters.
