The Texas Supreme Court will review a proposed deal that would allow satirical news website The Onion to acquire licensing rights to the Infowars brand name, following legal challenges that have delayed the transaction.

A Texas appeals court previously granted a request to pause the deal, which would transfer control of the Infowars brand to The Onion. The acquisition is part of ongoing legal proceedings involving Infowars host Alex Jones.

Under the proposed arrangement, The Onion would obtain licensing rights to the Infowars brand name and associated intellectual property. The satirical publication has indicated it would transform the show's format and content significantly from its current iteration.

The case has moved through multiple levels of the Texas court system, with the state's highest court now set to make a determination on the transaction's validity. The Supreme Court's review will focus on the legal aspects of the licensing deal and any procedural challenges that have been raised.

The timeline for the Texas Supreme Court's review and potential decision remains unclear. The outcome will determine whether The Onion can proceed with its plans to acquire and repurpose the Infowars brand.
