    Anyone know the legality of an expanding baton, tomfa, yawara, or other type nonbladed defense device in Texas?

    Not really sure about the "dirks & poniards" now, but since the latest updates to Texas Penal code (46.01 I think) almost anything is legal except in a prohibited area.

    Expanding batons are a compliance tool and not really all that great for a defensive tool. Proper training goes a long way with using them as a defensive tool, but it is not what they were designed for.

    Fraking truth.
    Emphasis on compliance.

    A club is a slow draw and slow to action.
