Texas has an anti-boycott law, specifically Chapter 2271 of the Texas Government Code, that prohibits state government entities from contracting with companies that boycott Israel. This law applies to contracts with businesses that have 10 or more employees and a value of $100,000 or more paid from public funds. The law requires companies to certify they do not boycott Israel and will not do so during the contract term. ... The Texas Attorney General and Comptroller of Public Accounts maintain lists of companies that are considered to be boycotting Israel, according to a 2023 advisory from the Attorney General. *** A Texas District Court case in 2019 ruled that Texas could not prohibit boycotting Israel as a condition for employment, citing free speech concerns. However, the state has argued that the law is constitutional and does not infringe on free speech.
*** No hurricane aid money if no loyalty oath to Israel - HOUSTON — The city of Dickinson, Texas, is requiring applicants for Hurricane Harvey rebuilding funds to certify in writing that they will not take part in a boycott of Israel. The American Civil Liberties Union criticized the city’s condition as a violation of free speech rights. *** “The First Amendment protects Americans’ right to boycott, and the government cannot condition hurricane relief or any other public benefit on a commitment to refrain from protected political expression,” said ACLU of Texas Legal Director Andre Segura. “Dickinson’s requirement is an egregious violation of the First Amendment, reminiscent of McCarthy-era loyalty oaths requiring Americans to disavow membership in the Communist party and other forms of ‘subversive’ activity.” https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/texas-city-tells-people-no-hurricane-harvey-aid-unless-they-promise-not-boycott
