The State has sought a stay by the Texas Supreme Court and has also asked the court to overturn the judges ruling. General Paxton issued the following statement:
Texas law is clear on the definition of marriage and I will fight to protect this sacred institution and uphold the will of Texans who voted overwhelmingly in favor of a constitutional amendment defining the union as between one man and one woman.
