legality in texas

Ok I recently bought a gerber fast draw at walmart it is an assisted open knife and I have been reading that some people in texas have been getting arrrested for having assisted opening knives, Is it not legal here? I bought it IN texas at walmart and they said it is legal but what i read online says otherwise????


Would even a spyderco tenacious be considered illegal? You can open that "one handed" or whatever the texas law says its not assisted tho



here is a short video of it, can that be considered illegal???

In Texas the length is 5.5 " I think. Lock blade knives are illegal in San Antonio, [ Swiss Army OK] , check with other counties. Most people wear knives on their belts in Texas rural areas. No big deal. I would be lost without my knifes.

The times and laws,they are a-changeing,even in Texas.
Hard to believe,and switchblades are illegal in Alaska,could be mighty handy there,and bowies are illegal in Tennessee,imagine that!
The list is vertually endless,and ever changeing.
