Texas
“That the general, great and essential principles of liberty and free government may be recognized and established…”
—Preamble to the Texas Bill of Rights
The Institute for Justice has been actively involved in litigating Texas cases since it was established. Now, the Institute for Justice Texas Chapter is joining the Texas community to expand IJ’s mission in the Lone Star State. Headquartered in downtown Austin, IJ-Texas litigates statewide for economic liberty, private property rights, educational choice, freedom of speech and other vital liberties secured by the Texas Constitution. As the Institute’s newest state chapter, IJ-Texas supports IJ’s national calling while advancing Texas’s historical ethos of liberty.
IJ Texas Chapter's first case is an Economic Liberty challenge to a new Texas law that limits computer repair to licensed private investigators:
Texas Computer Repair–Rife v. Texas Private Security Board
The Institute of Justice has already established a presence in Texas by protecting the liberty of Texas in the following cases:
Texas Equine Dentistry–Mitz v. Texas State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners
Texas Equine Dentistry (Second Challenge)–Boone, et al. v. Texas State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners, et al.
Texas Interior Design–Byrum et al v. Landreth et al
