On Thursday, Democratic Travis County Clerk Dana DeBeauvoir (above) told Towleroad that even if Bell's bill passes — which she believes is unlikely — her office will issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

"I believe the courts would still support any clerk that acted under the direction of either the Supreme Court or the 5th Circuit," DeBeauvoir said. "I feel like there's no danger in me performing this duty, especially in accordance with a court order. … I'm not intimidated."

If Bell's bill were to receive two-thirds majorities in the House and Senate, it would take effect immediately. If it's approved by a simple majority in both chambers, it would take effect Sept. 1.

DeBeauvoir said if Bell's bill becomes law before the marriage ban is struck down, she thinks most clerks in Texas would comply with the federal court ruling.
