A lawsuit against the State Commission on Judicial Conduct has resulted in a significant award for a McLennan County Justice of the Peace. The judge, who is from Waco, was disciplined by the agency for refusing to marry gay couples. The case was heard by a Travis County judge, who ultimately sided with the Justice of the Peace.

The outcome of the lawsuit was a $640,000 award in favor of the Waco judge. Further details about the case and the lawsuit are available from Houston Public Media.
