🏛️ Lawsuit: MARA Holdings, Inc. et al. v. Hood County, Texas, et al.

📜 The Allegations in the 47-Page Complaint

1. Intentional and Unconstitutional Conduct: MARA claims the county officials acted with the explicit intent to harm MARA's business, which violates the company's constitutional rights.
2. Unlawful Targeting: MARA alleges the proposed town boundaries were "drawn just to encircle" its facility near Granbury, giving the new municipality regulatory power to "tax and regulate it out of business."
3. Violation of State Law: The suit argues that the county violated multiple provisions of the Texas Local Government Code regarding municipal incorporations, including requirements for population, boundaries, and pre-existing community status.
4. Collusion: MARA's filing implies that County Judge Ron Massingill, County Attorney Matt Mills, and Elections Administrator Stephanie Cooper worked with the opposing residents (like the group Citizens Concerned About Wolf Hollow) to improperly fast-track the measure onto the ballot.

📰 Status Update as of November 4, 2025

• The Ruling: On Monday, November 3, 2025, Judge O'Connor denied MARA's Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) to halt the election scheduled for today.
• The Reasoning: The judge ruled that MARA failed to prove a "substantial threat of irreparable harm" and noted that the issuance of an injunction would "disserve the public interest" by interfering with a public election.
• The Next Battle: Judge O'Connor explicitly stated that MARA can still challenge the validity of the election and the creation of the city after the results are certified.
