Look to the ADA for inspiration.

  > Look to the ADA for inspiration Don’t think it’s comparable. If I have perfect vision, I don’t think I can sue a site for being unusable by blind people. Actual injury must be shown.

    California has a cottage legal industry whereby lawyers will file Unruh Act accessibility claims against businesses. There’s a very low standard on Unruh claims, to the point that some lawyers will work with the same plaintiff repeatedly looking for things like being inches off on doorways etc. Similarly, Prop 65 allows for direct, private civil suits. Although it has seen some reforms in recent years, it took some really egregious settlements before that happened. TL;DR: You can thank Californians for importing their crappy legal theories into Texas.
