If passed, it would be a class A misdemeanor to own 6 or more child-like sex dolls in Texas.
While not an outright ban, it would certainly pave the way for more unconstitutional doll laws to be passed. Hopefully this bill never gets out of committee. You can read the text of it here:

Child-like sex dolls: legal, empirical, and ethical perspectives
Abstract
The review deals with the controversy surrounding the use of highly realistic dolls with a child-like appearance. It summarizes recent empirical findings and provides an overview of the different legal and ethical perspectives on this issue. Countries use different legal approaches to regulate the use or sale of child-like sex dolls. Although a causal link is assumed by some legislators between the prohibition of such dolls and the protection of children from sexual abuse, empirical studies do not support this causality. The imposition of bans will hinder empirical research on the potential use of alternative sexual outputs for people with paraphilic disorders.
Itās both revolting and unsettling how anti-intellectualism permeates among these taboo subjects. No scientific evidence exists to conclusively support any causal link between the consumption of purely fantasy materials (3DCG, cartoons/illustrations) or child-like sex dolls and the sexual abuse of children, and the more we study these matters, the more apparent this conclusion comes. But these right-wingers arenāt interested in science or reality if they can comfortably exist without benefiting from it.
I hope this bill doesnāt materialize into awful legislation that could harm people.

Obviously, there are many statuaries of Jesusās crucifixion. What if I wanted a statuary of St. Eulaliaās crucifixion? Would that count as a ānude child dollā? Whether or not I fap to said statuary is literally pure thoughtcrimes.

This is extreme nonsense. What difference does it make if X person has five dolls while Y person has 6 dolls? It doesnāt change anything. So, why should there even be a limit? Dolls are personal property. They are no different from, for example, chairs in that sense. Whether or not a person has 100.000.000 chairs itās not the governmentās business. Whether or not a woman has 90.000 makeup products itās not the governmentās business.
There should be no limit for personal ownership, legally speaking.

This is why I feel like banning lolicon is actually really worthless, even if you want to make sure a pedophile doesnāt have any possibility to masturbate, it will be impossible. How can you prevent one from masturbation or feeding their own urges?
How will you prevent a pedophile from masturbating to a some random doll from a childās toy section? How can you prevent a pedophile from masturbating to some little kids on bathsuits as soon as they get home? How can you prevent a pedophile from looking at pics that the childās parents post on social media? Or even just masturbating while smelling their perfume or etc?
Itās simple: You canāt. You canāt prevent one from āfeedingā their paraphilia or else you will have to ban everything correlated to children.

Thank you! I canāt stand it when people say āpedophiles should avoid places where kids areā. Like, dude, children EXIST. I still need to go to the store and buy groceries so I can, yāknow, live. Kids will be there. I need to go to work and make money to buy those groceries. Kids will be there. Children and pedophiles exist on this same planet, asking pedophiles to avoid even being in public where kids MIGHT be (like at the store or movie theater or restaurants) is fucking batshit.
Iām intent on never putting my hands on a child, but Iām also gonna keep living my life and going places where kids might be because thatās the world I live in, a world where we both exist and thereās nothing to be done about that unless you wanna just shove us all inside special child-free āfacilitiesā (concentration camps) where weāre not allowed to leave. And thatās completely insane and will never happen unless the government goes full-tilt authoritarian.
And you know damn well any government willing to do this would shove anyone and everyone who could be even remotely considered āpedophilicā into such a facility: non-offending, lolicons, CLSD owners, POCD sufferers, hebephiles, ephebophiles, etc. Fuck, donāt be surprised if they arbitrarily toss in 30yos with 20yo partners (age gaps), or all LGBT people on the assumption that every single one is a āgroomerā, or non-LGBT gender non-conforming peeps like straight drag queens.
Yeah, yeah, Iām taking the notion to an exaggerated extreme, but thatās how this shit always happens. Starts out small, slowly grows into something bigger over time. The boiling frog and all thatā¦

I personally avoid the very best I can to be on places with children. Like I wouldnāt work on Schools or daycares and I donāt actively try to keep on contact with little girls. Whoever, I have no problem to go to the movies watching childrenās movies, absolutely no problems to be at a square as I live on a small town and thatās often the only place I can hang out or to go to a family related childās birthday party. For me, as long as thereās no constant contact or these arenāt places in which Iāll be put in situations in which could turn me on, I do not care to be there.
I donāt judge people who are uncomfortable at all, but thatās it. For the sadness of these people, I exist on the same planet as them and I aināt gonna stop going to places where your kids may been because you donāt like it.

Right? Like, my neighbors in the apartment next to mine have a kid, I can hear him through the wall. The little girls across the street were playing outside in the snow yesterday. I literally live next door to an elementary school (the same school I went to when I was a boy), you have to go past it to get anywhere. Kids are EVERYWHERE. You simply canāt 100% avoid them even if you wanted to. Itās impossible and a downright stupid thing to suggest.
I repeat, the only way you achieve a world where children and pedophiles are fully separated is to track down and reveal the latter, mark them and segregate them entirely from anywhere and everywhere children might be. And the only way to reasonably achieve this is involuntary internment at a facility where pedophiles cannot leave and will never be allowed to interact with the outside world. This is FUCKING EVIL.
In the summer, it gets hot and I feel like going to the public pool. Yes, I am a pedophile. Yes, kids will be there. No, Iām not gonna do anything. Even if I wanted to, Iād have to be suicidally stupid to try anything at a PUBLIC POOL. I have just as much a right to swim in that pool as anybody else. Donāt like that? Too bad

BREAKING: My bill to criminalize child-like sex dolls & child-like sex robots PASSED UNANIMOUSLY (134-0)! Texas will not tolerate the sexualization of children or the normalization of pedophilia in any form!

I wish I could get a word in edgewise.
Iād ask if anyone wants to challenge this, but Iām sure that major players are too obsessed with their reputations, while smaller ones canāt pay the court fees.

I should have asked perplexity before posting.
It is possible the Texas Senate will not have time to consider or pass HB 1443. The regular session of the Texas Legislature ends on June 2, 2025, which gives the Senate just over three weeks from the current date (May 11, 2025) to take up the bill.
During the final weeks of session, the Senate faces a crowded legislative calendar, with many bills competing for limited floor time and committee attention. Bills that arrive late from the House often struggle to move through Senate committees and reach the floor before the session deadline. If HB 1443 is not scheduled for a hearing, voted out of committee, and brought to the Senate floor before adjournment, it will not pass this session.
You mean like someone saying that Texas was banning loli without realizing that it only applied to AI trained with real life photos? Yes, please provide details before posting. I donāt want egg on my face when I share this stuff but then am debunked.

They will win either way. If it does not make it through the senate then they can play victim. So expect a lot of pressure and smear campaigns and if it does not get voted on then they will simply stir up a conspiracy theory of how pedophiles have infiltrated our government.
Always the same shit and people fall for it. Those laws are illogical especially in a country with plenty adult porn stars that have a body that, if made into a piece of plastic, would be illegal. What I wonder is what they define as āchild-likeā in the case of this bill?
Do they have exact measurements and stats? Because if not then owning any Doll with a small chest is basically a gray zone now. People forget that āchildā also means a 17 year old, so good luck.

It has an obscenity requirement. So any plain doll you can get from Target or regular stores will not fall under it. If the doll is flat down there itās going to be really hard to be found patently offensive, if not impossible.
