Bowie? I've driven through there frequently
According to the internet- this is TX state law:
"(6) "Illegal knife" means a:
(A) knife with a blade over five and one-half inches;
(B) hand instrument designed to cut or stab another by
being thrown;
(C) dagger, including but not limited to a dirk, stiletto,
and poniard;
(D) sword; or
(E) spear."
Nothing prohibiting Bowie knives, except for the maximum length. It is generally recognized that the false edge of a Bowie should not be sharpened.
