The Supreme Court ruled Texas must admit a Negro to the white law school, finding the Houston Negro law school not equivalent. In Oklahoma, the court struck down segregated graduate study, reinforcing equal protection under the law and prompting renewed tidelands debates.

Heman Marion Sweatt a Houston Negro would be admitted to the University of Texas Law School if the Supreme Court decision is interpreted by Attorney General Price Daniel as guidance. Daniel said the ruling confirms Sweatt’s right to enter while maintaining separate facilities elsewhere as substantially equal.
