A legal battle has erupted in an already heated Texas primary contest after a local education foundation filed suit against incumbent state Rep. Terri Leo Wilson (R-Galveston), who in turn accused the group of seeking to restrict her free speech in favor of her opponent.
Earlier this month, the Barbers Hill Independent School District (BHISD) Education Foundation (BHEF) sought a temporary restraining order against Leo Wilson in response to comments she made to The Texan in January regarding her primary opponent Nathan Watkins, who serves as a BHEF director, and his motivation for running against her.
