AUSTIN, Texas ― The state’s lawsuit seeking preemptive court approval for a new law cracking down on*immigration was dismissed on Wednesday, handing a victory to critics trying to overturn the measure.

The ruling by U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks ends an attempt by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) to head off legal challenges filed by several cities against Senate Bill 4, a Republican-backed measure that would criminalize so-called sanctuary policies.
Paxton filed the lawsuit hours after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed SB 4 into law, partly in an attempt to steer the inevitable legal challenges*to what he suspected might be a more sympathetic venue. Sparks’ order, dated Tuesday but filed Wednesday, said Texas lacked standing to bring the lawsuit.*

“The State’s own argument underscores its deficiencies,” the judge wrote.*“Because SB 4 does not take effect until*September 1, 2017, it is impossible for Defendants to take any action that would violate the not-yet-effective law. The mere fact that a municipal policy was instituted before a law was signed, or that it remains in place prior to the law taking effect, does not equate to a violation of the law.”

That's a good start...Less than a month before this law goes into effect.

It's good that he's already doing this. Seems to me like he has a flimsy argument.

This means SB4 won't take effect?

No, Paxton wanted the case against it to not even go forward. This just means that the lawsuit will go forward.
