Texas * Summary: Folders under 5.5" OK. * Max length: 5.5" * Specifically illegal: Switchblade, throwing knives, daggers (in general), bowie knives, swords and spears. * Relevant laws: Penal Code 46 * Quirks: The one state people associate with Bowie knives explicitly forbids them. Nothing about an age limit. Just do not bring them into government/publicly owned places. (Courthouses, Schools, Schoolbuses... etc.)
