What if provisions of the ordinance are against my sincerely held religious belief(s)?

In the State of Texas, the Texas Religious Freedom and Restoration Act (RFRA) prohibits government from infringing on religion and allows individuals to challenge laws that “substantially” burden their practice of religion. An individual may claim this as a defense from being in violation of the local ordinance.
