The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has remanded, for additional review, a complaint filed by a Texas Workers' Compensation attorney who alleges that his constitutional rights were infringed upon by a Texas statute
prohibiting misleading advertising. The attorney was cited by the State of Texas for using a domain name that contain the words "Texas" and "Workers' Compensation." The site is named,
TexasWorkersCompLaw.com
The Court stated that the use of the domain maybe constitutionally protected:
"A domain name, which in itself could qualify as ordinary communicative speech, might qualify as commercial speech if the website itself is used almost exclusively for commercial purposes."
