The Texas Supreme Court agreed to temporarily stop a program that had promised to offer about two thousand residents of Houston payments of $500 per month for a year and a half.
The decision came after the state’s Attorney General Ken Paxton filed an emergency request with the court for a “temporary injunction” against the program. Paxton argues that the initiative was violating the state’s constitution.
The highest court in Texas granted Paxton’s request on Tuesday.
“The Supreme Court today granted an administrative stay in the State’s petition…concerning the #UpliftHarris guaranteed income program,” according to a post on X, formerly Twitter. “Without regard to the merits, the order prohibits the County from making payments pending further order.”
