David Welch, pastor of Bear Creek Church and director of the Houston Area Pastor Council, also received a subpoena. He said he will not be intimidated by the mayor.

“We’re not afraid of this bully,” he said. “We’re not intimidated at all.”

Well, there you go. That is pretty ridiculous. I'll be surprised if a judge allows the subpoenas to be carried out.

You're one of my favorite atheists, BHP. I'll petition on your behalf to get you some ice water when the flames are really brutal.

Which is completely not the jurisdiction of the city.

It is if they have an exemption from property or sales taxes.

OP left out kind of a crucial detail.

After opponents of the bathroom bill filed a lawsuit the city’s attorneys responded by issuing the subpoenas against the pastors.

They filed a lawsuit....every lawsuit involves Discovery...to "discover" items attorneys file subpoena's to produce documents. During discovery each party has a wide latitude to collect/demand documentation. Seeing the text of sermons that the preachers would have espoused publicly would not seem to be that dangerous or an overreach.

What would be concerning is if the sermons were seized by gov agents in the absence of a lawsuit. Or if the discovered documents are then used to facilitate an actual abridgment of the pastors' first amendment rights.

If you don't want people to look at your pvt docs don't file a lawsuit and expose them to discovery.

Additionally, they're misrepresenting the bathroom law in that article.

The city doesn't determine who is or isn't tax exempt.
