“The Gathering Place” Charter has Legal Immunity Over Law Firm’s $19,378.28 Unpaid Invoice Claim

Texas Third Court of Appeals (Austin)
Ruling: A charter school doesn’t have to pay a bill submitted by a law firm that provided legal services for the charter — under a contract signed by the charter’s two co-CEOs — because the charter’s governing board never approved the contract.
