General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Ex parte Texas No. ___, Original Argued December 8, 9, 1941 Decided January 12, 1942 315 U.S. 8
ON MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE PETITION
FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
Syllabus
1. In Lone Star Gas Co. v. Texas, 304 U.S. 224, this Court decided that the company, in support of its claim that gas rates fixed by the Texas Railroad Commission were confiscatory, was entitled to make proof of confiscation on the basis of services rendered by an integrated system -- the basis on which the Commission fixed the rates in question -- but did not decide that the rates were confiscatory or in anywise foreclose a trial of that issue in the state courts. Pp. 12-13.
2. Leave to file a petition for a mandamus directed to the Justices of the Supreme Court of a State, requiring them to conform their judgment to a decision of this Court determining federal questions earlier in the case, will not be granted where, by their return to the order to show cause, they show that the judgment of the state court was based not upon a misconception of this Court’s decision, as alleged and relied upon in the petition for mandamus, but upon a construction and application of state law. P. 14.
Motion denied.

The Lone Star Gas Company was here granted leave to intervene, 314 U.S. 582.
