FILE - In this May 13, 2015 file photo, Texas Rep. Cecil Bell Jr., R-Magnolia, talks on the phone in the House Chamber, in Austin, Texas. Bell has proposed a bill that would penalize county and local officials for issuing gay marriage licenses. Hundreds of much-watched proposals, including a key conservative push to defy the U.S. Supreme Court if gay marriage is legalized, hang in the balance as work in the Texas House has slowed to a crawl — even as the chamber's last chance to pass its bills looms.
