Every state has some strange laws, but I would argue that Texas has some of the weirdest. To be honest, I’m not sure how these ordinances ever got passed. You probably won’t get busted for doing any of these illegal things in Texas, but you’ll get a good laugh out of reading them. Because of the weird laws in Texas, it’s illegal to do the following 12 things. You’ll thank us later after you’re done laughing at these weird Texas laws.
1. Selling your eye.
Darn, there goes my plan to get rich. Since we can't sell our eyes, we might as well take care of them. Check out these cool shades.
2. Milking someone else's cow.
Um...this sure is one of those crazy laws in Texas!
3. Taking more than three sips of beer while standing up.
I think it's safe to say we're all criminals.
4. Shooting buffalo from a second-story window.
Just stay on the first floor and you're good. You'll have better aim that way, anyway.
5. In Clarendon, it is a crime to dust a public building with a feather duster.
6. Selling Limburger cheese on Sunday.
I guess every grocery store in Texas is guilty.
7. Eating someone's garbage without their permission.
8. In Port Arthur, it's illegal to emit obnoxious odors in an elevator.
9. It is illegal to drive without windshield wipers, though a windshield itself is not required.
10. In Galveston, inhaling fumes from model glue is a crime.
11. In Mesquite, children are not permitted to have unusual haircuts.
12. In Richardson, all U-Turns are illegal.
