Over 650 New Laws Took Effect In Texas Friday

Yep, a whole bunch of new laws are on the books so, check this out before you accidentally break one ... or 10 ... of them. 

A s***load of new laws are now in effect including a texting ban, (didn't we already have that?), almost any knife can now be openly carried and bestiality is illegal. (WTF? They had to make that a law?) Also, according to the El Paso Herald Post;

• New school buses must have shoulder-to-lap seat belts for all riders (SB 693)
• When Texans get or renew their driver’s licenses, they will have the option to donate $1 or more to fund the testing of thousands of backlogged rape kits. (HB 1729)
• Fees to obtain handgun licenses have dropped from $140 to $40. (SB 16)
• Financial institutions now have more power to stop transactions they suspect are aimed at defrauding elderly or disabled clients. (HB 3921)
• With the help of a measure dubbed David’s Law, school officials hope they will have more tools at their disposal to fight cyber - bullying. (SB 179)
• Under a newly created loophole in state law, school employees can give leftover food to hungry students. (SB 725)

All that and a BUNCH more, be sure and do your homework on all these!
