The Texas Supreme Court issued an emergency stay on Tuesday.

The Texas Supreme Court issued an emergency stay telling Democrat-controlled Harris County not to launch a guaranteed income program, blocking the county from issuing payments until further action is carried out by the court.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton earlier this month filed a lawsuit seeking an immediate ruling to block Uplift Harris, the guaranteed income program, to send out the payments to residents, arguing that it violates the constitutions of both the United States and Texas. The state supreme court granted his request on Tuesday, coming a day before the payments were supposed to be sent out.

โ€œWithout regard to the merits, the court grants an administrative stay as follows: Real parties in interest and their agents are prohibited from making payments under the Uplift Harris program pending further order of this Court,โ€ the Texas Supreme Court said in its ruling, which is temporary. โ€œWithout regard to the merits, the order prohibits the County from making payments pending further order.โ€

The order blocking the payments is expected to last for at least one week. The court asked Harris County to respond to the Republican attorney generalโ€™s request by April 29.
