Relating to restrictions on the sale of obscene devices; providing a civil penalty.

This bill prohibits most businesses in Texas from selling, offering for sale, or holding for sale obscene devices (as legally defined in the Penal Code), with exceptions for sexually oriented businesses operating under existing Chapter 102 rules. It allows county or district attorneys to sue violators in district court to stop the sale and impose civil penalties of up to $5,000 per violation, plus reimbursement for investigation costs. The law directly affects retail businesses selling adult-oriented products, requiring compliance with the new restrictions unless operating as a licensed sexually oriented business. The bill takes effect immediately if passed with a two-thirds vote, or on September 1, 2025, otherwise.
