Isn't that really the whole point of the Texas constitution though? Placing heavy, even excessive limits on gubernatorial power? I'm not a scholar on such things, but I definitely recall that being rather a key point.
Even if it is, I don't see how that would justify vague or overbroad limits, which is one of their several arguments. This is the most interesting one to me, they are claiming immunity because his veto power functions as a legislative action:

Because a governor acts in a constitutionally-prescribed legislative capacity in vetoing legislation, Section 39.02(a)(2) is unconstitutional as applied because it violates the protection afforded by the Speech or Debate Clause of Article III, Section 21 of the Texas Constitution.
