Attorney General Abbott Will Appeal Ruling on Same Sex Marriage Case

Statement by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott

"The laws and constitution of the State of Texas define marriage as an institution involving one man and one woman. Today's ruling purports to strike down that constitutional definition--despite the fact that it was recently adopted by 75% of Texas voters. The Office of the Attorney General will appeal the court's ruling to defend the traditional definition of marriage that was approved by Texas voters."
