Officials suspended Darryl George, 19, last August, saying his dreadlocks violated the dress code.

Mr George asked district Judge Jeffrey Brown to issue a temporary restraining order so he could return to his Houston-area school as a federal lawsuit he filed over the suspension proceeds.

But in his ruling in Friday, Judge Brown denied the request, saying he had waited too long to ask for the order.

Since the start of Mr George's previous year at Barbers Hill High School, beginning in August 2023, he has been handed several disciplinary penalties for refusing to cut his hair.
