"For the record, Tesla has not said it will locate its new Gigafactory in Texas in exchange for the state changing its franchise laws."
Are there any legal restrictions on a company making demands like this?

Intel played this game with their factory they put into Arizona, Google with data centers (and Google Fiber of late), Tesla with battery factories.
