So, how many light manufacturers are there in Texas? That determines
whether
this is anything more than a politically motivated nothing.

Texas has ocean ports, we can directly import all the incandescent lamps
that China wants to send us.

Imports are controlled by the Feds. Intrastate commerce isn't supposed to be
but don't bet on it.

The law as quoted stipulates that the bulbs be manufactured in Texas.

Maybe someone can buy the Sylvania(?) plant that just closed and move it.
Meanwhile, I'll continue laying in a lifetime supply.
