Well, you don’t have that right in some states, and you could get into a lot of trouble if you try to sell them.

The Supreme Court refused Monday to consider whether a Texas law making it a crime to promote sex toys shaped like sexual organs is unconstitutional.

The case was brought by Ignacio Sergio Acosta, an employee of an adult bookstore, after he was arrested for trying to sell “an obscene device” to an undercover officer.

Colorado, Kansas and Louisiana have held such laws unconstitutional, while Georgia, Mississippi and Texas have upheld them, said Acosta’s lawyer in urging the Supreme Court to take the case.

An El Paso County court granted Acosta’s motion to dismiss a criminal complaint against him, but an appeals court reinstated it, saying the Texas law did not infringe on private sexual behavior.
