PacerMonitor's public page for State of Texas et al. v. U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 6:24-cv-00507 (E.D. Tex.; Judge Jeremy D. Kernodle; filed 30 December 2024; nature of suit 899, APA review or appeal of agency decision; cause 5:702) lists eight plaintiffs (Texas, Utah, Louisiana, Florida, the Arizona State Legislature, Last Energy, Deep Fission and Valar) against the NRC and shows no termination date. The only entry shown is No. 57, Wednesday 2 September 2026: 'JOINT STATUS REPORT by U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission'. The report's text is not public on the page and was not read. A joint status report, not a stipulation of dismissal or a consent decree, is what parties file while a case is pending. The parties list is marked last checked 28 June 2025, so it cannot show whether any plaintiff has since left the case. This is a commercial copy of the docket; the official PACER docket was not read. (Updates safe-028.)

In plain termsA commercial copy of the court record shows the case still open. On September 2, 2026, the government filed another joint progress report, the kind of filing made while a case is still going, not after it has ended. The copy shows no settlement or dismissal.
verified 2026-09-30: Skeptic pass 2026-09-30: re-read the public case page (robots allows /public/case/, disallows /public/document/, so the filing was not opened). The page shows 'Docket last updated: 8 hours ago', the parties list is 'Last checked' 28 June 2025, and entry 57 is dated Wed 09/02 4:33 PM. Unverified lead, kept out of the text: search snippets (not read, not a source) suggest a voluntary dismissal by the state plaintiffs on 24 June 2026. It needs the docket itself.
