Well dang.
I’ve only skimmed the opinion, but looks like case dismissed without prejudice, because the judge rules State of Texas and the individual plaintiffs have no standing to bring the suit.
Someone’s going to have to get prosecuted under federal law to carry case forward appears to be what the judge is saying.

Re: Texas Made Suppressor Law update
Both parties filed their motions for summary judgment by the end of May. On 06 JUN Federal District Court Judge Pittman set a hearing on the motions for 15 JUN. I thought everyone agreed to do this without appearing in court, but maybe things changed since November, or maybe I don’t understand what the hearing was for.
Anyway, the hearing was heard on the 15th as scheduled, but I do not know what transpired. The online court record for this case has a “Minute Entry” for the hearing, but I have to be a member of PACER and pay a fee to see it, which I am not and am not going to pay for. (I don’t think the actual document is very much, but I don’t want to through the rigmarole of joining pacer).
I also do not know if the judge is going to make a final decision based on the motions and briefs filed plus the hearing, or if this was just another step in the journey.
Standby for good news. If you want to see the court documents yourself, you can go to this link. Most of the documents, including the motions filed by both sides, are free for download, but every so often there’s one that you have to pay for.

ETA: Pittman was appointed by Trump.

Re: Texas Made Suppressor Law update
The ATF made more attempts to kill the suppressor lawsuit but that has come to nought.
As I understand the current status, the judge in the case has asked the parties if they really need a trial to sort this out or can it be done with motions and a summary judgment. It appears both sides of agreed they can do this by paper rather than have a trial, so they met on November 9 to work out the details. I don’t know when the motions are due but essentially both sides are gonna make the best arguments on paper and the judge will decide.
This guy does good summary of what’s going on at the federal level, but the titles of his YouTube videos are very click-baity. Nevertheless I think it’s worth listening to him.
