I suggest before you decide to move to Texas you visit the cities you are considering and speak to a few attornies about what it is you plan on doing there.

It was on the advice of 3 different attornies that I moved out of Texas and 2 of them were constitutional lawyers recomended to me by the first amendment lawyers association.

There can be many problems with producing content, especially hardcore content in Texas.

You will get a lot of differing opinions regarding this, but the simple fact is Texas is one of those states that is not porn friendly.

Can you possibly get away with it?

Sure.

But as all 3 lawyers told me, we didn't want to have to be the test case, one way the government works in situations like these is they hit you in the pocket book.

They may not necessarily win the legal battle, but if they keep you in court long enough they will win the financial one.

Before packing up and relocating to Las Vegas I worked out a number of scenearios:

We even considered producing the content elsewhere and bringing it back to Texas to edit and upload etc and all 3 attornies informed me at that point that if we were to use any models from Texas while producing this content we could be prosecuted under the Mann Act

But there was not one idea we came up with that didn't present any problems working in Texas.

This is not to say that there won't ever be any problems working anywhere.

But you have to consider that Texas is a more conservative state and is part of the 5th circuit which is one of the more conservative of the 13 federal circuit courts not to mention their extremely conservative city, counties and the state government.
