Texas

According to state law, "when two trains meet each other at a railroad crossing,
each shall come to a full stop, and neither shall proceed until the other
has gone." Apparently, a state senator did not want a particular law passed,
so he added this ridiculous law onto it, but no one noticed it, and so both
laws passed.

Abilene - a city ordinance states that "it is illegal to idle or loiter within
the corporate limits of the city for the purpose of flirting or mashing."

Commerce - it is illegal to climb a telephone pole unless you are
payed to do so.

Corpus Christi - it is against the law to raise alligators in your home.

Galveston - it is illegal for camels to wander around freely.

Plano - it is against the law to sale foam alligators at parades.
