RE: Texas v. United States, No. 19-10011 (5th Cir.)

Dear Mr. Cayce:

The Department of Justice has determined that the district court’s judgment

should be affirmed. Because the United States is not urging that any portion of the

district court’s judgment be reversed, the government intends to file a brief on the

appellees’ schedule.

Respectfully submitted,

JOSEPH H. HUNT
Assistant Attorney General
BRETT A. SHUMATE
Deputy Assistant Attorney General
s/Martin V. Totaro
MARTIN V. TOTARO
Attorney, Appellate Staff
