My friend who lives in Texas was telling me they were going to criminalize possession of anything that depicts hardcore pornographic images/video, outlaw the sale of said material in a retail fashion in the state, and criminalize (via a misdemeanor offense) the sale of anything that could be considered pornographic. The only nude images allowed to be sold would be those of "artistic merit".
