What the Texas law does is prohibit switchblades under article 46.05, but then it says: "(d) It is an affirmative defense to prosecution under this section that the actor's conduct: (1) was incidental to dealing with a switchblade knife, springblade knife, or short barrel firearm solely as an antique or curio..."
I think that means you can have one in your collection of "arms" but then, I'm not an attorney. I think it also means you cannot carry one for protection.
