Expert: Dan Pepper Date: 5/15/2008 Subject: adult production in texas
Question I am wanting to move to Austin texas and start an adult entertainment
production company. It will mainly be solo girl scenes, girl girl scenes and boy
girl scenes. Is it legal to do in Texas?
Answer The only jurisdiction in which it is affirmatively legal to produce adult content is in California. Anywhere else you run the risk of obscenity charges or violation of other local ordinances.
I have worked with adult productions in Texas before, and we have structured the business practices to minimize risks of violations, but in the end, there is no guarantee that it is "100% legal."
