Texas Republican lawmakers take aim at sex toy sales

Texas Republicans have declared war on personal pleasure devices, filing two separate bills this legislative session aimed at regulating the sale of vibrators and dildos. Senate Bill 3003, filed by State Sen. Angela Paxton — a McKinney Republican married to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton — takes aim at online retailers who sell sex toys. If passed, her proposal would require such businesses to use an age-verification process to confirm that the person purchasing the goods is at least 18.
