No. Texas is a “free the nipple” state. Bra or no bra, it is not illegal.
I am allowed to own a firearm in the state of Florida as Florida does not see adjudication withheld as a conviction, I just had a 3 year waiting period after serving my sentence. Will Tennessee honor the disposition?
I live in a Age 55+ gated community governed by an HOA. Our community appears to be discriminating against people of color.

It is best to consult with a civil attorney who handles this type of claim.
Motor vehicle accident. I was driving my semi truck and made it to a 4 way stop in downtown. The square is small and I took a little of the empty left turn lane to made a sharp right.
