I have contacted the Texas state legislature regarding your question, but have not heard back yet. My buddy is a cop, and he says he's never had to arrest anyone for it, and thinks that if there is a law against it, it is probably one of those ones which isn't strictly enforced. I think we can assume it is okay until we hear otherwise back from the TX lawmakers.

Luckily, Gov Rick Perry is a fan of robotics and FRC -- if there is a problem in TX maybe he can help us resolve it?

No we just turn robotics into an underground sport down here. Think of the wonderful and terrifying implications.
