BEAUMONT — News of the Supreme Court’s ruling on same sex marriage was cause for celebration for some and dissent for others in the southeast Texas area. Supporters of the gay and lesbian community including founders and members of Beaumont Pride gathered for a lunchtime celebration of the marriage equality ruling at Tacos La Bamba on Calder Avenue in Beaumont. There was laughter and tears, hugs and champagne among the dozens who attended the impromptu called event. - See more at: http://www.panews.com/2015/06/26/locals-react-to-same-sex-marriage-ruling/#sthash.n7PBkZaH.dpuf

While many county clerks – including those in Bexar, Dallas and Travis counties – are expected to immediately begin accepting applications and issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, Harris County Clerk Stan Stanart said he would look to the state for guidance. Attorney General Ken Paxton on Thursday urged county clerks across Texas to await his direction before issuing marriage licenses. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said today he had sent a letter to Paxton asking if county clerks and justices of the peace could be forced to "subjugate their sincerely held religious beliefs" in connection with same-sex marriage. Daniel McNeel "Neel" Lane Jr., an attorney for one of the two same-sex couples who challenged Texas' ban, said this week that he and his clients would ask Garcia to immediately lift the stay to allow gay couples to begin marrying. Gay marriage isn't as popular in the Lone Star State, with voters nearly equally split on the issue, according to a recent University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll that showed 44 percent are in favor of allowing same-sex couples to marry.
