At last we have equality in Texas!!...although I prefer the route Iowa went, which was to allow legal marriage for people regardless of gender. From your article, here's the crucial sentence of the Texas Constitutional amendment that was approved in 2005:

Quote:
This state or a political subdivision of this state may not create or recognize any legal status identical or similar to marriage.
"Any legal status identical to marriage," of course, is...marriage.
