Texas election law according to the defense in this cas.

The law is pretty clear. States may not add qualifications for members of Congress. Remember when Arkansas tried to add term limits?

The Texas Election Code cannot add to the qualifications of members of Congress. You have to go to the Constitution to find the qualifications. Nothing prohibits a Virginia resident from running for Congress in Texas as long as that Virginia resident becomes an inhabitant of Texas by election day.
