A court ruling has sparked a request for reconsideration from the City of Houston. S. Judge David Hittner.
The ruling in question struck down a longstanding initiative related to government contracts, specifically a program for minority-owned businesses. This decision came after a lawsuit was filed in 2023 by a white couple. Further details about the case and the city's request are available from the source.
The city's initiative was stuck down last month, prompting the current appeal.
