Defendant-Appellant The Texas Education Agency (“TEA”) filed a motion to dismiss, on grounds of Eleventh Amendment sovereign immunity, a claim of Plaintiffs-Appellees Danny R, by next of friend lian R., and Han R., Guardian (collectively, “Appellees”), grounded in § 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. 1 The district court denied TEA’s motion to dismiss, concluding that, in accepting federal educational funds made available by Congress under its Spending Clause powers, TEA waived any right it might have had to urge immunity under the Eleventh Amendment. 2

We held TEA’s appeal in abeyance pending our resolution of this precise issue in Pace v. Bogalusa City School Board et al. 3 In our recent en banc disposition of Pace, we held that Eleventh Amendment sovereign immunity to claims under § 504 of the Rehabilitation Act is waived by any state or state agency that accepts federal *290 funds made available by Congress under the authority of the Spending Clause of the United States Constitution and clearly and expressly conditioned on waiver of immunity.

This holding in Pace controls our disposition of TEA’s appeal of the district court’s order denying dismissal of Appellees’ Rehabilitation Act claim. That ruling is therefore affirmed, and the case is remanded for further consistent proceedings.

AFFIRMED and REMANDED.
