1Opinion of the Court
EDITH BROWN CLEMENT, Circuit Judge:
In February 2011 the Texas Department of Insurance issued a cease and desist letter to Appellant John Gibson, arguing that his use of the words “Texas” and “Workers’ Comp” in the domain name of his website violated § 419.002 of the Texas Labor Code. Gibson filed a complaint in the Northern District of Texas, alleging that the statute was unconstitutional under the First, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments. The district court dismissed the complaint for failure to state a claim. For the following reasons, we AFFIRM in part and REVERSE in part.
