Fight over Texas anti-abortion transport bans reaches biggest battlegrounds yet

Two Texas jurisdictions, Lubbock and Amarillo, will consider measures this week to outlaw the act of transporting another person along their roads for an abortion, part of a strategy by conservative activists to further restrict abortion since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Read more about the measures.

Lubbock and Amarillo are both traversed by major highways that connect Texas, which has one of the county’s most stringent abortion laws, to neighboring New Mexico, where abortion is legal. No violations have been reported in the five jurisdictions that have already adopted these measures. Their reliance on citizen enforcement makes them difficult to challenge in court.

Federal judges in the Southern District of Texas have agreed to let a different court hear any lawsuits against U.S. Bankruptcy Judge David Jones — including the case that revealed his previously undisclosed relationship with a bankruptcy lawyer and prompted his resignation. Read more about the transfer.

The Oct. 4 lawsuit, by former McDermott International shareholder Michael Van Deelen, accused Jones of failing to disclose his relationship with a partner at Jackson Walker, a local law firm that handled many bankruptcy cases in Jones’ courthouse, including that of McDermott.
