Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed an appeal against a federal judge's decision to block the Ten Commandments display law from going into effect Sept. 1.

Texas cannot require public schools in Houston, Austin and other select districts to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom, a judge said Wednesday in a temporary ruling against the state’s new requirement.

A federal judge has ruled that several Texas school districts do not need to comply with a state law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all classrooms.
