Speed limits : After Sept. 1, Texas highways will no longer have different speed limits during the day and at night. The new law also lets transportation officials raise limits to 75 mph in remote areas. Dozens of legislators signed on to this bill, including King, Nash, Patrick, Shelton, Smith, Zedler and Rep. Marc Veasey, D-Fort Worth. (HB1353)

Hog hunting: Texas hunters may start shooting feral hogs from helicopters as of Sept. 1. Until now, Texans could do so only on their own land. Now, landowners may sell seats to others. (HB716)

Fishing: Texans can now legally fish for catfish using their hands rather than a pole -- known as noodling. They just need the required license and freshwater-fishing stamp. A separate law lets Texans 80 and older fish without a license. (HB2189, HB550)

"Romeo and Juliet": The "Romeo and Juliet" law aims to prevent teens and young adults who have consensual sex from becoming criminals. The measure by Smith and Sen. Royce West, D-Dallas, prevents a young defendant from having to register as a sex offender if he or she had consensual sex with someone 15 or older. It takes effect Sept. 1. (SB198)

I think this has something to do with what happened to a friend of mines kid. He was caught having sex in a car with his girlfriend while skipping school. He was 17 and she was 16. He has to register as a sex offender now because she wasn't of age. I'm not sure if this is retroactive or not but it was a bad deal for him.

In the 80s speedo's were only allowed to show 0-85 so the corvettes went digital so they could show 0-199
