Texas' attorney general is praising a Supreme Court ruling upholding a state law aimed at blocking children from seeing pornography online.

Supreme Court rules Texas can require age verification on pornography websites, allowing penalties up to $250,000 if minors access explicit content due to non-compliance.

The Supreme Court on Friday upheld a Texas law that requires age verification for pornographic websites in one of the most closely watched First Amendment cases to arrive at the high court in years.
