Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples involved in gay divorce appeals case

Jessica Meyers reports on now-Ag Commish-former-State Senator Staples' connection to gay divorce case::

He didn't appear, but lawyers from Plano-based Liberty Institute spoke on behalf of Staples and Rep. Warren Chisum this afternoon in a Dallas appeals court.

They are seeking to appeal a divorce granted to a gay couple in Dallas. Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott has filed appeals in both Dallas and Austin, saying the state doesn't recognize gay marriages so it can't recognize gay divorce.
