Christopher Tyler Bray v. Texas
IFP petition · Supreme Court of Texas, No. 25-0659 · judgment September 5, 2025
Question presented
What is the meaning of religion as it concerns the Free Exercise Clause and the Establishment Clause of the 1 st Amendment, and what are the implications of such? How is the court system and entire government supposed to handle, according to their constitutional law, an individual who proffers evidence of his Anointment according to Christian Scripture? According to compelling interest tests in Free Exercise cases and the solemn oath of the government to serve the better interest of the people, that the people may not understand themselves as is remedied by the mechanisms of a Republic, would it not then be explicitly in the interest of the government to respect the Truth when the Truth has been revealed?
