subsection are enacted in accordance with the tribe's request in Tribal
Resolution No. T.C.-02-86 which was approved and certified on March 12,
1986.
(b) No State regulatory jurisdiction
Nothing in this section shall be construed as a grant of civil or
criminal regulatory jurisdiction to the State of Texas.
(c) Jurisdiction over enforcement against members
Notwithstanding section 1300g-4(f) of this title, the courts of the
United States shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any offense in
violation of subsection (a) of this section that is committed by the
tribe, or by any member of the tribe, on the reservation or on lands of
the tribe. However, nothing in this section shall be construed as
precluding the State of Texas from bringing an action in the courts of
the United States to enjoin violations of the provisions of this
section.
