Texas dismissed its lawsuit against FIEL Houston Inc. on November 9, 2026, ending a legal battle in which Attorney General Ken Paxton had accused the nonprofit of violating 501(c)(3) rules by opposing Donald Trump and border-security legislation; under state law Texas sought to dissolve the nonprofit charter, a case that advanced after an October 2025 appeals court decision.

FIEL, MALDEF, celebrated the dismissal as a vindication and plans to resume its advocacy for immigration rights, while observers noted the case's potential precedent for nonprofits and faith groups.
