The appeals court said the plaintiffs can’t be compelled to be members of the State Bar of Texas pending resolution of the lawsuit’s remedies phase.

“The bar is engaged in nongermane activities, so compelling the plaintiffs to join it violates their First Amendment rights,” the 5th Circuit said.

But it may not continue mandating membership in the bar as currently structured or engaging in its current activities.”
