Martinez v. Bynum: Facts of the Case
Martinez v. Bynum: The Court’s Ruling
In Martinez v. Bynum (1983), the Supreme Court held that a bona fide residence requirement was a permissible precondition before even a U.S. citizen could demand a state’s services such as public education. The Court thus ruled that a child who was a citizen but who did not meet the requirements of Texas’s bona fide residence was not entitled to a free public education.
