Is the Texas Bar's still demanding compulsory dues for "unified" Bar association membership now unlawful, in the wake of the recent Supreme Court decision?

Janus v. AFSCME, 138 S. Ct. 2448 (2018)
“Janus forbids compelled speech in the form of government-mandated financial support to private organizations. The unified bar is squarely in the cross-hairs.”

Joe K. Longley, SBOT President 2018-2019, requested an Opinion  - on legality of charging Mandatory Bar Dues  - from Attorney General Ken Paxton on January 22nd., 2019.

SCOTUS

​Issues: (1) Whether it violates the First Amendment for state law to presume that the petitioner consents to subsidizing non-chargeable speech by the group he is compelled to fund (an “opt-out” rule), as opposed to an “opt-in” rule whereby the petitioner must affirmatively consent to subsidizing such speech; and (2) whether Keller v. State Bar of California and Lathrop v. Donohue should be overruled insofar as they permit the state to force the petitioner to join a trade association he opposes as a condition of earning a living in his chosen profession.
January 22, 2019 Dear Attorney General Paxton:....  2.Is it constitutional to require Bar members to pay compulsory Bard dues.....that Bar members object to on First Amendment grounds (e.g.free speech, freedom of association), including programs that are not within the regulatory functions of the State Bar?
