Senate Bill 10 mandates that public school classrooms display a 16-by-20-inch poster of the Ten Commandments. The law has faced legal challenges from various religious groups and parents who argue that it violates the constitutional separation of church and state. A federal judge temporarily blocked the law, and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has appealed the decision.

Senate Bill 15 allows law enforcement agencies to retain and share records of alleged misconduct, even when those allegations are determined to be unsupported by evidence. Critics argue that this infringes on due process and could harm officers' reputations without formal adjudication.

Senate Bill 8, known as the Texas Heartbeat Act, bans most abortions after approximately six weeks of pregnancy. The law allows private citizens to sue anyone who performs or aids an abortion in violation of the law. It has faced legal challenges and has been associated with a rise in maternal mortality in Texas.
