Submitted by jcmiddl on Thu, 10/04/2007 - 20:44.Hi Jcmiddl,
Generally, I would agree with you, what happens on private property, behind closed door, between consenting adults should not be the concern of the state; however, I think whenever we’re talking about residential communities, we need to be sensitive to other residents. Any home-based business that draws a significant amount of customer traffic is likely to be the subject of complaints. Unfortunately, some clients aren’t always very thoughtful or discreet when visiting and can cause problems with the neighbors. I’m sure that any potential legislation would meet resistance for home owner and apartment associations.
I’m coming late into this conversation. What is the petition you are referring to?

Thank you for your post and it’s great to see somebody in Texas posting on here. I support allowing people to work legally out of their homes, but I also support allowing people to work legally in other settings, such as brothels, hotels, etc.
I’m also located in Texas and I’d love to get in contact with you. I’m in the Dallas area. What part of Texas are you located in if I may ask?
In Texas, there have been a couple of major successes through using the court systems. One of these was Lawrence vs. Texas, which ruled the state’s anti-sodemy law to be unconstitutional. Another court ruled against the state’s law prohibiting the sale of anotomically correct sex toys, though this is recent and the state can still appeal to the Supreme Court.
If anybody else in Texas is out there reading this, please get on here and chat.
