The private citizen doesn't even have to be in Texas. Anyone from anywhere. And if the lawsuit is against a clinic, and it wins, the clinic has to shut down.
The law seems like was designed entirely to avoid being reviewed by federal courts, gaming the system. Normally groups would file a lawsuit against the state officials responsible for enforcing the new law. But here it's being enforced by individual anti-abortion activists. There's no one to sue.
The more I read about it the more crazy it seems.
They've basically overturned Roe.
