* ''State v. Zurawski'', ___ S.W.3d ___, [https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=9133421901754640670#p--- ___] (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 . . . 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.")


* ''In re Dean'', 393 S.W.3d 741, [https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=12142732650188771717#p749 749] (Tex. 2012) (citations omitted) ("We have applied a three-step evaluation to determine whether the [Texas Equal Rights] Amendment has been violated. First, we consider whether equality under the law has been denied. If it has, we must determine whether equality was denied '''because of'' a person's membership in a protected class.' If so, 'the challenged action cannot stand unless it is narrowly tailored to serve a compelling governmental interest.' Richard has not shown that he is denied equality under the law. Section 152.201(a) is a procedural mechanism for determining jurisdiction.")
