State Rep. Hillary Hickland is coming for your dildos.
The right-wing Republican won a seat in the Texas House in November. Now she wants to expand the GOP’s culture wars. Why? She’s apparently triggered by sex toys.
Not all of them. Just ones, including dildos, sold in big box stores like Target, Walmart, CVS and Walgreens. She wants them relegated to adult bookstores and other shops that face strict state and local regulations.
Like any good culture warrior, Hickland frames her bill as a way to “stop sexualizing Texas kids,” a phrase she repeatedly uses to defend her House Bill 1549 from critics on social media.

Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for Texans and our future.
Since day one, our goal here at COURIER Texas has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of Texas families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
