At the federal level:
Blocked from enforcement: the Lege's school book rating law, First Amendment grounds and prior restraint grounds tied to that.
Blog from enforcement: the Lege's near-ban on drag shows, First Amendment grounds.
At the state level:
Blocked from enforcement: The "death star" law gutting local control for home-rule cities, on state unconstitutionality grounds. The Monthly reports that a lot of conservative larger cities, like Plano, dislike the bill as much as the Austins, Houstons and Dallases of the world. Plano joined Waco, Denton and Arlington in filing an amicus to the original suit, launched by Houston with El Paso and San Antonio joining. The most sinister part of HB 2127 is that it allows private biz to sue municipalities if they claim "any harm" from municipal ordinances. A lot of smaller cities would cave, simply because they couldn't afford the legal fees, even with TML help.
Blocked from enforcement, but enstated on appeal: The ban on medical drug portions of so-called (sic) gender-affirming care.
