A court in Texas cut a $50 million judgment.

The judgment was against Alex Jones.

He is the founder of Infowars.

The new amount is $1.5 million.

The ruling comes from Jones' false claims.

He called the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting a hoax.

The court said the parents of a victim did not show enough proof.

They did not show that Jones' claims hurt them more than $750,000.

That is the state's limit for each person.

The decision does not change another judgment.

That judgment is for $1.25 billion against Jones in Connecticut.

Jones has not paid any of the judgments.

He is appealing the amounts.

He and his company, Free Speech Systems, have filed for bankruptcy.

Sandy Hook parents Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis won the Texas case in 2022.

Their 6-year-old son Jesse Lewis was one of the 26 people killed in the attack.

Jones said during the trial that the shooting was "100% real."

He said he had lied about it.

On Friday, Jones said the ruling was "a gigantic victory for the First Amendment."

He said he would appeal to the state Supreme Court.

A lawyer for the parents called the ruling "irrelevant."

The lawyer said Jones still faces over a billion dollars in liability.

The Onion has taken over Jones' Infowars platforms.

Now it runs parody content on its own website.
