A lawsuit against Amarillo ISD has been dismissed by a judge. The case involved the death of a 14-year-old former Amarillo High School student, Jaxson Mendoza, who died in 2022. He suffered a seizure while warming up on the school track and the lawsuit claimed the district failed to accommodate his epilepsy.

The lawsuit alleged that Jaxson's civil rights were violated and that he did not receive required rescue medication during the seizure. Further details about the case and the judge's decision are available from court documents filed on July 21, 2026. The dismissal of the lawsuit brings an end to the case, but details about the circumstances surrounding Jaxson's death and the events leading up to it can be found through the original source.
