Texas Supreme Court hears argument over beach‑closure law tied to rocket launches The Supreme Court of Texas heard consolidated argument on whether a law (referred to in argument as "House bill 26 23") that enables beach closures for spaceflight activity is a permissible exercise of the state's police power or an unconstitutional restriction of the public's easement under Article I, Section 33 of the Texas Constitution.
