The quoted language is the "description", but the actual language of the amendment (below) makes your reading seem the best--i.e. It defines Marriage as b/t one man and one woman and then prohibits the recognition of marriage as a legal status, or any legal status similar to marriage, in Texas.
Sec. 32. (a) Marriage in this state shall consist only of the union of one man and one woman.
(b) This state or a political subdivision of this state may not create or recognize any legal status identical or similar to marriage.
