A federal judge granted a preliminary injunction preventing the University of Texas System from enforcing a state law that barred expressive activity on public campuses between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression sued on behalf of student groups, arguing the statute was an unconstitutional restriction on First Amendment rights; the judge found plaintiffs raised serious constitutional issues and paused enforcement while the case proceeds. The Texas law—passed amid interstate campus protest concerns—also restricted amplified sound, invited speakers and certain expressive activities at key times. The ruling centers on core free‑speech protections and underscores judicial skepticism of broad, time‑of‑day curbs on campus expression. The injunction preserves students’ ability to engage in overnight expressive activities pending a full adjudication.
