Yeah… Texas gets away with doing a lot of weird things since they are another nation that also happens to be a state in the USA.

 

I recomend that you don't ever trespass in Texas. It is just a bad idea…

Texans are very friendly people, and you'll mostly have a great time. Depending on where you are, you'll find a real mix of cultures, for instance Dallas has a very large Indian community. Any state you go to you will find people with guns – though admittedly you might see more obviously in states like Texas – the other day, I saw a guy in the general store wearing a sidearm, but it's normal. You aren't going to get shot…unless you attack someone or trespass on their property. As for the dumb laws, everywhere has them, but you'll be fine. The USA is a wonderful place to live, though you will find it very different than Iraq.

To clarify, not everywhere has the dumb laws listed, but many places do have dumb laws (rarely if ever enforced) – in fact, I'd like to see some evidence (rather than a joke internet site) that those are real Texas laws.
