Are they in the Texas state constitution specifically? Or just the federal? Because these people don't care about the Feds unless it benefits them to do so. And, how do you plan to challenge it? In the courts?

Unless there's enforcement, courts mean nothing. If the cops want it to be a law, it's a law, no matter how much anyone says otherwise. And if the legislature has the cops on their side, the courts don't matter.
