If you'd like to read the actual moms' who was involved, accounts - here
they are:

Apparently, some more moms went and nursed there Saturday morning, and were
refused service. The business owner seems to think that his right to refuse
service trumps the right to breastfeed - the women sit there, but no one
serves them once they are nursing.
Another mom reports
"I went to the restaurant and actually witnessed two or three police
officers telling a mama that she must stop nursing her (5 or 6 m.o.) baby
girl or cover the baby, or go to the restroom, or go outside. This woman was
very courageous and I didn't see so much as a quarter of an inch of
breast -- she was wearing a special nursing shirt.
The restaurant refused service to another mama that morning. It was really
just bizarre. The restaurant is not in Austin itself, but in Williamson
County, just north of Austin."
Come on Texas - where's the "big guns" for these ladies???
