Texas law would require restaurants to permit service dogs to enter

San Antonio Express-News:
A bill that ensures food establishments cannot deny entrance to a service canine, including dogs assisting people with post-traumatic stress disorder, is en route to Gov. Rick Perry for approval.

...

The proposal amends the state's Health and Safety Code to ensure that service canines can accompany people who are blind, deaf, in a wheelchair, or have a seizure disorder, a mental illness or PTSD. If the person's disability is not apparent, employees may ask only “whether the assistance animal was required because the person had a disability, and what type of work the animal was trained to perform.”

...
These dogs can be critical to people's functioning.  As long as they don't constitute a threat to others, I see no reason not to let them enter.  They have literally been life savers for many people.
