State scores wins in two separate court fights

Federal appeals court lifts order blocking Texas from kicking Planned Parenthood out of Medicaid. Texas moved to exclude Planned Parenthood from Medicaid years ago after a highly-edited video from an anti-abortion group suggested abortion providers sold fetal tissue.

And, a Travis County court says Austin must allow guns in its city hall, siding with Ken Paxton. The court ordered Austin to pay a fine to the state for each day it prevented investigators from the attorney general's office from carrying their firearms.
