That's interesting:
(f) A person who possesses six or more obscene devices or identical or similar obscene articles is presumed to possess them with intent to promote the same.
So it's not just 6 obscene devices, you could have two Rampant Rabbits and break the law. I assume a double-ended dildo counts as one obscene device unless they can be disengaged to make two identical ones.
"Obscene devices" is rather a loose term too. The kinky are likely to have quite a few knocking about but for personal use only.
They define them in 43.21(7), albeit, still quite loosely:
(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.
So maybe a devices like the magic wand is in the clear since it's marketed as a massager. I wonder if a vibrator could simply be repackaged and marketed as a massager, as well.
They often are.
Interestingly, it doesn't include butt plugs - Republicans must love those, also penis cages and cock rings.
Possession with Intent to Distribute ?
I mean is a weapon of Mass Distraction ?
What is this law ???

Rules for thee but not for me, eh Sen. Cruz?
Policemen Josh and Wade showing up to a party:
Josh: "Alright Wade, let's make sure there are not more than 6 erections in there."
The lawmakers are afraid of the competition
So how exes do they enforce this? Random dildo count inspectors? Dildo registration?
Dildo inspector at work:
Well for butt plugs you have:
Roflmfao!!!!!!
Guilty as charged!
Texas is ran by dildos so this is really just thinly veiled self preservation at this point
