The Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to hear an appeal from the adult entertainment industry seeking to upend a Texas law that requires pornographic websites to verify the age of their users.

The justices will review an appellate ruling that allowed the age verification to go into effect. Arguments in the legal fight between the Free Speech Coalition, a trade association for the adult entertainment industry, and Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican who signed House Bill 181 into law, will take place in the fall.

The Texas law carries fines of up to $10,000 per violation that could be raised to up to $250,000 per violation by a minor.{ai:summary}<p>The Supreme Court takes on a case involving adult entertainment industry's challenge to Texas law.
