Texas won a U.S. appeals court order temporarily blocking a federal judge’s decision to strike down a state law requiring abortion doctors to have local hospital admission privileges.

The decision by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals in New Orleans will allow Texas officials to enforce the provision while they seek reversal of the Oct. 28 ruling by U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel in Austin.
