Not 42, but 683

The “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” teaches that “42” is the Ultimate Answer.  That may be true for intergalactic hitchhikers, but “683” is the Ultimate Answer for Texas temporary-injunction practice:

Here, the January Injunction states the applicants “are entitled to the relief sought” and an injunction is “necessary to restrain [Bailey and Edamame] from taking actions prejudicial to Applicants’ rights.” It does not, however, specify the facts the trial court relied on to reach those conclusions or provide any reason why the applicants are entitled to the relief sought in their application. The January Injunction does not explain why the four actions being enjoined need to be enjoined or how those actions could prejudice Applicant’s rights. The January Injunction is, therefore, conclusory. Further, the January Injunction does not specifically explain how appellees will suffer irreparable harm without the injunction and why they have no adequate remedy at law. These conclusory statements are insufficient to comply with the requirements of rule 683.
