Rodriguez v. Bexar County (H.F. Garcia and William Wayne Justice, W.D. Tex. 5:01 cv 1049)
A district judge issued a temporary injunction against the redistricting of precincts for justices of the peace and constables, eliminating one of the five precincts, without preclearance pursuant to section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. After the county obtained preclearance, the judge found Hispanic vote dilution in violation of section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, but the court of appeals reversed the nullification of an election to the new precincts.
