IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF
DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS
191st JUDICIAL DISTRICT
EX-PARTE TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER
On this the 2i
h
day of August, 2012, came on to be heard the application of Plaintiffs
Judge Timoteo F. Gonzalez, Judge David C. Indorf, Judge Ruth C. Logan and Judge Cheryl D.
Williams ("Plaintiffs") for an Ex-Parte Temporary Restraining Order against Mayor Mike
Rawl ings and the Members of the Dallas City Council ("Defendants" or "Dallas City Council");
Pl aintiffs appeared before the Court by and through their attorney of record;
Defendant s did not appear befor e the Court.
The Court considered the Plaint iffs' Application for Ex-Parte Temporary Restraining
Order. From the facts set forth in the App lication, it appears to the Court that Plaintiffs are
enti tled to an Ex-Parte Temporar y Restraining Order, in that the Judges will suffer a probable,
imminent and irrep arable injury if, as they reasonably anticipate, the Defendants publish the
1
results of the vote taken by the City Council Defendants on August 22, 2012, or take any further
action in furtherance of the vote taken on August 22,2012, including but not limited to the
swearing in of the proposed nominees voted on by Defendants on August 22,2012. Based on
information and belief, the Judges believe the publication of the vote will take place imminently,
thereby causing irreparable harm because the ultra vires acts of the City Council Defendants.
This Ex-Parte Temporary Restraining Order is necessary to avoid any further attempts by
Defendants to continue to violate the law.
Based on the foregoing findings, IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that:
The City Council Defendants, and others in active concert with them, will be restrained
from taking any action to publish the results of the vote taken by the City Council Defendants on
August 22, 2012, including but not limited to the swearing in of the proposed nominees voted in
illegally on August 22, 2012.
