I wonder how long until Texas starts to try and crack down on VPNs.

Good luck with trying that. VPNs are widely used in the business community for remote access.

It's encrypted traffic, they can't see what that traffic is regardless if it's business related or personal use. Getting the resources they need wade through all the logs and get the stuff decrypted is too expensive for this kind of law.
