Travelers Beware: Prohibited Goods When Entering Texas

One unique thing about Texas is just how close we are to another country; of course I'm talking about Mexico. We've seen various news stories of people being busted at the border (and the airports) for carrying items that they shouldn't have. But there are some things that you can't bring BACK into Texas  that you might not have known about or know WHY.

What are some items that are prohibited or restricted to bring into Texas?

According to the U.S. Customs & Border Protection agency, they've made it very clear on which items are allowed and, most importantly, which ones are NOT when bringing into the United States. So here are 10 things to be aware of before you plan that return trip.

Of course there are several other items that should come as no surprise on WHY they're prohibited from bringing into the country. Alcohol, drug paraphrenia, firearms, these are examples that we SHOULD'VE have already known that are illegal from bringing into Texas, and other states OBVIOUSLY.

Sadly, we still see people trying to carry in ENORMOUS amounts of illegal stuff into the country, and some of the items already mentioned...

So next time you plan a trip to Mexico, or anywhere over seas, just remember on which items you have in your bag. Make sure that it's all stuff that you CAN take with you (and that won't get you into big trouble with the law). Last thing you need to do is ruin a good vacation because you packed the wrong thing...
