New Mexico is an even better example, especially since it's so close to the Texas you speak of. They don't say, one way or the other.

I've already answered both your hypothetical question and addressed Rhode Island example. I am sure that New Mexico has similar laws, and I have said repeatedly, this is not really a burning issue for me. The absence of an explicit definition of marriage does not mean that a state should allow people of the same sex to marry when laws defining terms like "wife," "husband," and "incest" include references that make it clear that marriage is considered a contract between people of opposite sexes.
