The TX AG hurriedly scribbled a legal document on Friday allowing any county 
clerk, whose religious beliefs collided with issuing certificates of 
marriage to a gay couple, could refuse to do so.  I heard on NPR local news 
this morning that if a county where there is only one clerk refuses it would 
be a legal situation in which the clerk's office would probably not prevail. 
However there is talk about paying local lawyers to issue the licenses in 
such a case. Because TX is TX, I'm sure this will happen sooner than later.
