I feel honored and touched.
But enough about your personal life...
For those curious to read the penile penal code see 43.23(f): https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/PE/htm/PE.43.htm#43.23
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.
For the double, if it counts as two when split it'd be illegal because two identical devices
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 ???
what is this? nazi germany?
No, nazi texas.

First they came for the dildos...
Pretty sure you can’t be married more than 6 times either. Coincidence? I think not!
So how exes do they enforce this? Random dildo count inspectors? Dildo registration?
Well for butt plugs you have:
