As I recall, Arizona Republican Governor, Howard Pyle, cooperated in the “Short Creek” raid on FLDS in the Arizona strip. This was in the 1950’s and the upshot was that Pyle’s political career was over and the fundamentalists were know but “off limits” thereafter. Public reaction to enforcing such laws dealing with religious beliefs has always been skeptical.
Not to mention that AZ and UT are in the "mormon corridor" and TX definitely is NOT. I very much doubt the public will be as skeptical there, and, this is not the '50s. Jeffs has been convicted and is on trial again, and there isn't any outrage that I have seen.
