An attorney licensed to practice in California, Massachusetts and before the U.S. Supreme Court has been denied a license in Texas. The plaintiff, Deborah Sonnenschein, was also denied by the Texas Board of Law Examiners from taking the bar exam, because she had graduated from an uncredited online law school. Sonnenschein claims the board violated her state constitutional right to equal protection. The board, represented by Assistant Attorney General Karen L. Watkins of the administrative law division, asserted immunity on a jurisdiction plea, which the trial court denied. The Third Court of Appeals reversed and dismissed most of the plaintiff’s claims with prejudice but it preserved her equal-protection claims, holding them insufficient to establish a waiver, but allowing her to amend the petition.
