We have recently become aware that Texas has some kind of "drug precursor" law or regulation which requires a permit to own boiling flasks, erlenmeyer flasks, distilling apparati, filter flasks, adapter tubes, and the like.   The permit is administered by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS). ------ While we believe this regulation is misguided at best, we cannot advise anyone to break the law.  Texas residents, please contact your state representatives and tell them that the regulation should be repealed.  Please also contact members of the US Senate and House of Representatives to prevent this kind of regulation from surfacing elsewhere.   We don't normally get involved in political causes, but this one bears directly upon many of our customers who practice home schooling and amateur science.  The glassware regulation is an example of well-meaning but misguided legislation that simply goes too far.   Please also consider joining the Society for Amateur Scientists as well.   This organization has an excellent newsletter, The Citizen Scientist. Texas customers:  By placing an order for lab glassware with us, buyer  indicates that he / she has obtained the necessary permit to receive and own the glassware.   If we have any reason to believe you do not have this permit, we will not be able to ship your order until you obtain the permit. -Chris Sales & support (contact here) Catalog       Clamps and Stands       Glassware Main page Terms of Sale / Use Copyright
