Description
Spartan Industries, Inc., which operates department stores in Dallas, San Antonio, Austin and Fort Worth, sued said cities and certain officials, including the District Attorney and Sheriff of Dallas County, seeking to enjoin them from enforcing Article 286a P.C., one of the statutes sometimes known as the "Sunday Closing Laws". That statute provides that any person who, on both of the two consecutive days of Saturday and Sunday, sells certain merchandise shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. It makes certain exceptions. It states that its purpose is to promote the health, recreation and welfare of the people of Texas; that operation of any business in violation of its provisions constitutes a public nuisance and that any person may apply to court of competent jurisdiction for an injunction restraining its violation.
