Description
This case comes before us on an interlocutory appeal from a temporary injunction. The Amusement and Music Operators of Texas, Inc. ("AMOT") filed a declaratory judgment action against the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (the "Commission"); Doyne Bailey, the Administrator of the Commission; the Department of Public Safety; and Dudley Thomas, the Director of the Department of Public Safety. AMOT challenged the constitutionality of a Commission memorandum and interoffice communication interpreting the definition of "gambling devices" in section 47.01 of the Texas Penal Code as applied to certain machines called "eight-liners." The trial court issued a temporary injunction enjoining those agencies from relying on the memorandum and the first two paragraphs of the interoffice communication. In seven issues, the Commission appeals the temporary injunction issued. We will affirm the trial courts order.
