Texas law would require web services to identify minors and filter what they see online.

The SCOPE Act was signed into law last year and was set to take effect on September 1st .

Tech industry groups NetChoice and the CCIA sued to prevent the law from taking effect.

A federal judge issued a last-minute partial block on the law.

The ruling didn't find that the entirety of the law posed a threat to First Amendment -protected speech.
