At Grable PLLC, we stood up for a military spouse whose professional rights were being violated by the Texas Education Agency. By invoking the Servicemember Civil Relief Act — a federal law protecting military families — we successfully obtained a permanent injunction stopping the unlawful actions and securing her rights.
The Legal Challenge
Defending the Rights of Military Families Under Federal Law
Our client, a military spouse, was facing discriminatory licensing decisions that directly violated her federal protections under the Servicemember Civil Relief Act (SCRA). We filed suit against the Texas Education Agency in federal court, arguing that their actions were not only unfair but unlawful under the SCRA.
The court agreed, issuing a permanent injunction to stop the violations and protect our client’s career and rights moving forward. This case highlights the importance of federal protections for those who serve — and those who support them.
