Texas Tax Code 142.009 – Limited Binding and Beneficial Effect
(a) The agreement authorized by this chapter binds and inures only to the benefit of this state and the other member states. A person, other than a member state, is not an intended beneficiary of the agreement.

(b) Consistent with Subsection (a), a person does not have a cause of action or defense under the agreement or by virtue of this state’s approval of the agreement. A person may not challenge, in any action brought under any law, an action or inaction by any department, agency, or other instrumentality of this state, or any political subdivision of this state, on the ground that the action or inaction is inconsistent with the agreement.
