I'm not a Texan, but here's my take on the story (and Texans can correct me if I'm wrong):
The whole reason why this law was passed was to eliminate affirmative action in the UT system, like California did. Once this law was passed, fewer minority students were admitted into the UT system.
Now years later, the 60 minutes story highlights the problems: the UT system,especially UT-Austin, just doesn't have the space to accomadate all these students. And it also showed that the kids at extremely competitive schools are getting the shaft.
I personally think that they should abolish the system. I'm not for quotas or anything, but the fact remains that the public school system in this country isn't fair, and every student doesn't get the same education. They would do better looking at each student individually.
