Greg Abbott, in His Official Capacity as Governor of Texas, et al.,
Petitioners,

v.

La Joya Independent School District, et al.,
Respondents

═══════════════════════════════════════
On Petition for Review from the
Court of Appeals for the Third District of Texas
═══════════════════════════════════════

PER CURIAM

This case concerns the division of power between the Governor
and local officials during the response to the coronavirus pandemic. The
plaintiffs sought and received a temporary injunction against
enforcement of a gubernatorial executive order that prohibited local
mask-wearing requirements. The court of appeals affirmed the
temporary injunction, and the State petitioned for review.
In light of our decision today in Abbott v. Harris County, 22-0124,
the petition for review is granted, the judgment of the court of appeals
is vacated, the temporary injunction is dissolved, and the case is
remanded for further proceedings consistent with our opinion in Abbott
v. Harris County. See TEX. R. APP. P. 59.1.
