The state of Texas has gone along with the national regime that has eliminated protections for the elderly, women, indigent, criminals, disabled, LGBTQ, and people of color. No medical, income, or housing help is paid for by the state or the national government. Marriage is between men and women only. Women aren't allowed to work unless widowed and are not educated after age 18 when they are expected to marry and have children.

Attracted to Dee, Nathan learns of the struggles she has with trying to find placements for her clients, he questions whether Court 47 should even exist.
