DD v. YouTube Hearing

October 23, 2025

Two interesting developments in Defense Distributed v. YouTube (1:25-CV-01095-ADA, W.D. Tex.), the state court case Google couldn’t help but bring into the federal system:

1. Judge Albright, a Trump appointee, snatched the case up from the magistrate sua sponte.

2. Judge Albright has set a hearing, one week from today, concerning Defense Distributed and Google’s cross motions to remand or transfer the case, making this the first proper showdown concerning Texas’ recent changes to HB20. More attention given to this case is good. The hearing details are below.

Hearings are more fun in person than over Zoom, but we’ll get to announce one of those in another case soon.
