According to the Southeast Texas Record, the Texas Supreme Court has ruled that pastors and members of a Texas church that restrained a teenager against her will for hours and forced her to say "Jesus" were protected by the First Amendment, and not liable for a $300,000 judgment awarded by a jury for her pain and suffering. The Southeast Texas Record reports that the woman, now an adult, is allegedly disabled because of the church-based trauma, and receives Social Security. The majority opinion stated, "the First Amendment does not cease to apply when parishioners disagree over church doctrine or practices." Dissenters argued that "the tort of false imprisonment is a religiously neutral law of general applicability."
