2009 — A 1970s-era Texas law that allows parents to show "harmful
material" to their children has come under fire after a prosecutor said
he couldn't file charges against a man accused of forcing his 8- and
9-year-old daughters to watch hardcore online pornography.
Randall County District Attorney James Farren has asked the Texas
attorney general's office to review his decision not to pursue charges
in the case, which has prompted at least one lawmaker to vow to change
the state's public indecency law.
"Our hands are tied. It's not our fault. I have to follow the law,"
Farren said Thursday. "The mother of the victims in this case was less
than happy with this decision, which I understand. We were less than
happy with the statute."
The law apparently was meant to protect the privacy of parents who
wanted to teach children about sex education, but it states clearly
that parents can't be prosecuted for showing "harmful material" to
their children.

Mom bucks Texas law allowing parents to show their kids porn
..
Now, the Dallas mom wants him prosecuted. However, a Texas law
allows parents to show kids porn. So, Buckner is trying to force
lawmakers to change that.
The district attorney did find a way around that law, and charged Jack Buckner with child endangerment.
