They're fine in most of Texas except prisons, court houses and San Antonio. I don't think they're actually illegal in court houses but they won't be amused if they catch you.philip964 wrote:Ok don't know much about knives.
What are the legalities of carrying a knife like this?
Obviously they won't let you on a plane with a knife like this, what about other places?
The way I've read:(11) "Switchblade knife" means any knife that has a blade that folds, closes, or retracts into the handle or sheath and that opens automatically by pressure applied to a button or other device located on the handle or opens or releases a blade from the handle or sheath by the force of gravity or by the application of centrifugal force. The term does not include a knife that has a spring, detent, or other mechanism designed to create a bias toward closure and that requires exertion applied to the blade by hand, wrist, or arm to overcome the bias toward closure and open the knife.
