The Texas Supreme Court refused to take jurisdiction in a mandamus effort to force locating a state university for negroes in Austin. Dr. Everett H. Givens alleged constitutional authority and sought to compel the UT regents to place the school in Austin. The court did not rule on merits and noted no jurisdiction for original mandamus against the regents.
