Wut? This is, umm, complete and totally false. Where do people come up with this crap?

People "come up with this crap" by being literate.

Texas Penal Code 43.21 DEFINITIONS (7) "Obscene device" means a device including a dildo or artificial vagina, designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs.

Sec. 43.23. OBSCENITY. (a) A person commits an offense if, knowing its content and character, he wholesale promotes or possesses with intent to wholesale promote any obscene material or obscene device.

Ah, I see. It's legal to own dildos, it's illegal to promote dildos (so that's, what, selling a dildo, or does telling people how awesome dildo are count as promotion too?), and if you've got more than six dildos, or two the same, that's too many for personal consumption and you must be an illegal dildo-dealer.

If I made this up, people would tell me it was laughably unrealistic :)
