This has been an ongoing debate here in Texas for sometime now. Bergman has filed this legislation in the last two Texas Legislative sessions but to no avail. If it ever gets into Texas law then we may have some action in the courts.

Here is a discussion of the subject from the Houston Chronicle, August 18, 2010 about an article in the Texas Tribune.

Snip
U.S. Sens. John Cornyn and Kay Bailey Hutchison support a "review" of the amendment. Fifteen of Texas' 20 Republican congressmen have signed on to legislation that would restrict it. One of them, U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Surfside, has opposed it since 2002. State Rep. Leo Berman, R-Tyler, has in each of the past two sessions proposed legislation that would effectively do away with it -- and vows to do it again in 2011. End snip.....
