Descripción editorial
After successfully challenging rules adopted by the Texas Workforce Commission and successfully defending that judgment before this Court, Appellants sought attorneys fees. The district court denied their application. The parties are now before us again, but this time the sole issue on appeal is whether the district court erred under Erie R.R. Co. v. Tompkins, 304 U.S. 64 (1938), by refusing to apply the fee-award provision of the Texas Declaratory Judgment Act. We affirm, finding Appellants claim foreclosed by precedent directly on point: Utica Lloyds of Texas v. Mitchell, 138 F.3d 208 (5th Cir. 1998).
