So, in case anyone is interested in what the actual ruling was about: A couple sued the company which purchased the husband's former employer for asbestos related mesothelioma. The Texas legislature enacted a law which retroactively indemnified companies from being sued in such cases, most interestingly is that this couple's suit was the only one which was affected.
The widow (the husband having passed) challenged this ruling as unconstitutional with regards to the Texas constitution. The judgement handed down sides with her, though I don't think that a judgement has yet been made in the original case.
