The case was tried in US District Court for the Northern District of Texas, where the court declared the statutes were unconstitutional, but the judge refused to grant declaratory relief, necessitating the case be heard on appeal. [314 F Supp. 1217 (N.D. Tex 1970)]
Roe bypassed the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and went to the US Supreme Court on expedited appeal for injunctive relief, but filed for protective relief in the Fifth Circuit.
