Texas Obscenity Law to Face Supreme Court Review
The U S Supreme Court agreed to hear a Texas statute case aimed at banning obscene material including a Dallas underground newspaper. The law, challenged by Brent Stein publisher of Dallas Notes, carries up to $1000 fine and one year in jail, with harsher penalties for selling to minors. The Texas ruling upheld the law but criticized its definition of obscenity, urging a standard of material being utterly valueless socially.
