“Appeals court blocks Texas from enforcing book rating law”
“Plaintiffs claimed that the 2023 law, which required book vendors to rate the explicitness of sexual references in materials sold to schools, was unconstitutionally broad.”

They are suing over this law. The case went before the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in November.

PS: Just because #HB900 was derailed doesn't mean all's well in Texas. While laws would make it easier for them to ban books, old-fashioned intimidation remains a valid option.

“That said, [the law] misses the mark on obscenity with a web of unconstitutionally vague requirements. And the state, in abdicating its responsibility to protect children, forces private individuals and corporations into compliance with an unconstitutional law that violates the First Amendment.” Judge Alan D. Albright

Kudos to the organizations who stepped up to fight #HB900 instead of complying with fascism for financial gain.
Hopefully publishers and librarians will remember who was ready to sell them out and take their business elsewhere in the future.

"Community standards vary wildly across Texas. What would be deemed acceptable in Austin might likely be objected to somewhere else." Federal Judge Alan D. Albright

"One publishing executive told PW on background that they understand the bind Follett faces in Texas with the new law but that complying with the request to rate their books would make them 'complicit' in an act of censorship. And in a statement, one publisher, Hachette, went on record to broadly reject the idea of rating its books."
Compliance with #HB900 by anyone is 100% siding with fascism and censorship. FOH!
