The high court divided 6 -3 along ideological lines, with Justice Thomas authoring the decision for the majority.

The Texas law requires porn websites to verify their visitors' age.

The Supreme Court said that the law survives a more heightened form of judicial scrutiny.

Challengers to the Texas law say it violates the First Amendment by burdening adults' speech.
