DECIDED

American Beverage Association v. Paxton

On February 11, 2026, the Western District of Texas preliminarily enjoined enforcement of a Texas law compelling misleading warning labels on food products. The decision was a victory for WLF, whose amicus brief argued that the mandate violates the First Amendment by requiring companies to disseminate inaccurate and uninformative government-scripted speech. WLF joined the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on the brief.
