Texas allows for exceptions and federal laws that prevent discrimination on the basis of religion would present an issue of a provider rejecting a child from their business.
It could be a problem if the Parents want to make a federal or state issue of it. I think as it being your business you should have the right to decline anyone but I think in this case a parent could present a problem if they know the law and want to fight you on it. Here is a helpful link:

Do all childcare facilities/preschools have to accept the exemption form?
View Answer
Current state law requires that childcare facilities and preschools that are licensed by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to accept the exemption form. However, TFVC has received reports from members across the state that some facilities are choosing not to abide by this law and instead are denying exemptions. Your best option is to fully vet a facility, either with a phone call or web page search, on their policies before enrollment or paying any sort of deposit or other fees.
