Christians should know about the new covenant. Literally the foundation of Christianity was the new covenant; abrogating the Deutoronomic Laws, Mosaic Laws, etc. into the Laws of Christ (and a bit more) for gentiles—i.e. Texans—to follow and suddenly heaven is unlocked for them now too.

It's like, v4.0 release name was Christianity and it finished on like v4.2. Mosaic Laws were v2.0b after there was an issue with v2.0 and God had to quickly hotfix another set to Moses. Only after them could the 12 tribes continue preparing everything for Jesus and the Texans, but that's much further down the roadmap and the studio would turnover it's entire staff and change owners many, many times first.

This isn't a uniform belief amongst all Christian sects and is, moreover, usually a certain-flavor-of-Protestant one. While common to believe that the ritual laws of the Old Testament no longer apply, there are those who make exceptions for those laws dealing with morality. St. Augustine (I believe) split the mosaic laws into three categories and made assessments based on that, even. And I'm sure there are some who even consider them all still binding, somewhere out there (though probably a minority).

(of course, all of which is irrelevant to a government meant to serve individuals of a variety of faiths pulling crap like this)

What the 10 Commandments have to do with Christian Texans.

Unsurprisingly, very little.
