TSC 23-0629 (Tex. 2024) ("The Center argues that the State's interest in prenatal life fades when 'the health risks to the pregnant patient and the fetus are so severe that the pregnancy will never result in a child with sustained life.' But in situations where the mother has such a risk, manifested as a life-threatening physical condition, current law permits an abortion to address the mother's risk of death or serious physical impairment. We conclude that the temporary-injunction record does not demonstrate that the Act lacks a rational relationship to a legitimate governmental purpose such that the Act violates Texas's equal protection clauses.")

* ''Connor v. City of Paris'', 27 S.W. 88, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/Vol_027_SWR_88.pdf#page=5 92] (Tex. 1894) ("That the legislature may empower a city to levy upon abutting property an assessment to pay a part of the cost for improving a street upon which such property fronts is too well settled by the decisions of this court to admit of argument. . . . It is claimed that the charter, so far as it authorizes the assessment, is void, because no notice was required to be given by the council before the ordinance was adopted; being in violation of article 3, § 57, of the constitution. This was not a special law, within the meaning of that section, which has reference alone to the acts of the legislature.")
