Description

The State of Texas sued Corpus Christi Peoples Baptist Church (Peoples Baptist) seeking to enjoin it from operating the Rebekah Home for Girls, the Anchor Home for Boys, and the Lighthouse Home for Boys, unless and until Peoples Baptist obtains a license for that purpose from the Department of Human Resources (DHR). Some members of the staff of the homes, some children and parents have intervened as defendants. The questions presented for review are whether the state licensing procedure for child-care facilities violates the Religion Clauses of the United States Constitutions First Amendment, the Ninth Amendment, 42 U.S.C. 1983, and various articles of the Texas Constitution when applied to church-operated facilities. The trial court, in a non-jury trial, denied the States prayer for injunction, concluding that the licensing scheme, as applied to Peoples Baptist, violated both the United States and Texas Constitutions. The court of appeals, with one justice dissenting, affirmed the judgment in an unpublished opinion. We reverse the judgments of the courts below and remand the cause to the trial court with instructions.
