Texas Same-Sex Marriage Ban Stalls
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/05/051605txMarr.htm

Legislation that would ban same-sex marriage hit a stumbling block Monday when a senator delayed committee debate on the issue for at least two days.

The Senate State Affairs Committee was set to hold a public hearing Monday and likely vote to send the measure to the full Senate for debate as early as Wednesday.

Sen. Rodney Ellis, D-Houston, slowed progress of the measure by "tagging" it. The tag means the legislation can't be heard in committee for at least two days. The public hearing was rescheduled for Thursday, so the soonest the measure could reach the Senate floor would be Saturday.
