If anyone else is from Texas, do you know if this blade type is legal to carry? I know it's acceptable as far as size goes, but the point is what concerns me.

TxSigNot from Texas, but I got a rundown of Texas Knife Law in San Antonio in October 2013 when I was out as a tourist with my folding, locking SOG Fielder. Which at the point was against San Antonio's locking knife ban (which has since been pre-empted is my understanding), but I argued out of it as I was a tourist/traveler (thank god for mobile data). As far as I can tell this should be ok, it's not designed to be thrown, it's only got the blade on one side, so it can't reasonably be called a dagger, it's not a spear or sword. You might want to check out your local knife shop, they should know the law inside and out and should be able to help you.

Bpendragon>>>it's only got the blade on one side<<< It looks to me like it has an edge on either side. Is the back edge blunted?

TxSigFor a state that has open carry practically encouraged, I'm amazed there's knife laws.

Exonauticyeah, and what's funny is while firearm carry is mostly considered for self-defense purposes, there's 1,001 different OTHER purposes for carrying a knife on a daily basis (Clamshell packaging, I'm looking at you!). It's a good day when I have a knife needed to do a job, and I'm not sure I'd feel the same way if I had needed to use a firearm.

TxSigAbout the only restriction we have in Texas is less than 5.5" and not double bladed. I'm not sure what about this worries you but I carry a Tanto all the time

ApocryphiliacI totally missed the notification back when it was important, but yes the back side is blunted. It's a variation of the Tanto style of blade. If you look at the pictures and follow the long edge up to the point you'll see that the top, while peaked, is not sharpened. If it were sharpened it would defeat the purpose of the folding knife, that you don't need a sheath to carry it in, because the backside at that point would be an exposed blade.
