Jury selection begins Monday, with opening statements to follow Tuesday, in the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance trial in Harris County District Judge Robert Schafferâs courtroom.
Opponents of the ordinance allege the city wrongly invalidated thousands of signatures on their petition for a referendum on the law. Last week, Judge Schaffer granted the plaintiffâs request for a jury trial.
We preview the trial as we talk with Houston Chronicle reporter Katherine Driessen.
