Texas Judge Hits Pause on HUB Program Changes, Reinstating Women and Minority-Owned Businesses

An Austin judge has issued a temporary injunction, blocking the Texas acting Comptroller's removal of women and minority-owned businesses from the state's Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) program. This ruling reinstates their certifications and sets up a November trial to address whether the Comptroller exceeded his statutory authority, violated due process, and challenged the Texas Constitution's separation of powers.
