As I have previously discussed, the Supreme Court of Texas issued a stay on same-sex marriages in the state last Thursday per the request of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. On Friday Paxton made a request to the court to void the first same-sex marriage in Texas since the state passed its gay marriage ban, which was performed last Thursday. Paxton expressed that allowing the marriage license to be valid would result in “legal chaos.” Paxton’s full filing to the Supreme Court of Texas can be seen here.
