8. Homosexual behavior is a misdemeanor offense
(21.06. Homosexual Conduct, Acts 1973, 63rd Leg., p. 883, ch. 399, § 1, eff. Jan. 1, 1974. Amended by Acts 1993, 73rd Leg., ch. 900, § 1.01, eff. Sept. 1, 1994.)
Though this ridiculous law was overturned by the Supreme Court in 2003, starting in Texas in 1994, it was a Class C misdemeanor to engage in “deviate sexual intercourse” with someone of the same sex.
