Finally had a chance to look at this.

Here is some Texas law context . . . An ex parte TRO is pretty easy to obtain. The real test is whether you can keep it after the other side appears.

Reminder: we saw that in Waco two weeks ago. Tulsa National Little League was disqualified for using an ineligible player. The team obtained an emergency TRO reinstating it and ordering another Southwest Region championship game. Little League appeared the next day with its evidence and moved to dissolve. The judge dissolved the TRO, the disqualification stood, and Boerne advanced to Williamsport.

The Dallas order here is also ex parte which means the NCAA, SEC, and Greg Sankey were not heard. It is not a ruling on the merits. It is a 14-day emergency order entered after hearing only the athletes’ presentation.

FWIW, this one goes extraordinarily far. It effectively gives 41 plaintiffs another season, reopens the transfer portal, overrides NCAA and SEC rules, protects schools and coaches from penalties, commands nonparty institutions to act, and requires the NCAA and SEC to obtain the judge’s permission before declaring a plaintiff ineligible for any other reason.

Texas procedure allows the defendants to move to dissolve it on two days’ notice. There are many defects here, but given the order’s failure to identify the irreparable injury or explain why notice could not be provided--as Texas Rule 680 expressly requires--they have substantial grounds to do exactly that.

The Little League case is a useful reminder: the first TRO headline often tells you little more than who reached the courthouse first.
