Texas teen beauty queen wins fight for crown

Looks like Texas beauty queen Domonique Ramirez is once again Miss San Antonio. Ramirez's title was stripped from her after officials claimed she was insubordinate and chronically late - and allegedly told her to "get off the tacos." A Texas jury ruled Thursday that pageant officials breached their contract with the 17-year-old.

After the verdict, State District Judge Barbara Hanson Nellermoe ordered her crown returned and directed that Ramirez be allowed to participate in the upcoming Miss Texas pageant. Jurors declined to award her any monetary damages.

Pageant officials testified during the weeklong trial that Ramirez showed up to a bikini photo shoot overweight and made the pictures "unusable." Ramirez had sued to stop pageant officials from taking away her title and chance to compete to be Miss Texas - and possibly Miss America.

Pageant organizers have said 17-year-old Ramirez was insubordinate, overweight at times, and chronically late to events that required her presence, reports CBS affiliate KENS. Linda Woods, President of the Board of Directors for the Miss Bexar County Organization, Inc., previously said violations other than the weight gain - such as having a dirty sash and broken crown - were bigger issues.

"I mean we were left with no choice; it was jeopardizing the image of Miss San Antonio and the organization," said Woods. Now, Ramirez has responded by taking the beauty contest to court. "I think that they're just trying to kick me out," said Ramirez, who broke down in tears at her news conference, overwhelmed, she said by the nature of the accusations against her.
