San Elizario ISD discusses contingency-fee legal agreements for social-media litigation; no vote taken
Summary
During closed session the board discussed possible contingency-fee agreements with JCA Law, PLLC and Guerra LLP to pursue litigation related to student social-media usage; the board took no action when it returned to open session.
The San Elizario ISD Board entered executive session at 6:32 p.m. on June 18, 2025 to consult with counsel about potential claims and litigation involving student social-media usage and to consider contingency-fee legal service agreements with JCA Law, PLLC and Guerra LLP under Texas Government Code §§551.071, 551.072 and 551.074.
When the board returned to open session at 8:00 p.m., no action was taken on a resolution to approve or execute a contingency-fee legal services agreement. The minutes state the board presented, discussed, and did not adopt a resolution approving a contingency-fee agreement and did not authorize the Board President to execute such an agreement.
Why it matters: the board considered litigation options that could potentially seek damages from social media companies related to student social-media usage; the matter remains under consideration and the board did not authorize retention of outside counsel at this meeting.
