Got it

Sec. 361.959. ENFORCEMENT
(b) The commission and the attorney general, as appropriate, shall enforce this subchapter and, except as provided by Subsections (d) and (e), take enforcement action against any manufacturer, retailer, or person who recycles or reuses computer equipment for failure to comply with this subchapter.
The law isn't really that complicated, what happens is what happened here...Someone takes only a "part" of a law and then applies a meaning to it. If you looked at the whole chapter and started at the beginning you would find most of your answers in "definitions"

Texas Health And Safety Code 361.952 - Definitions :: Lawserver

This chapter is TOTALLY geared to business that refurbish or bid on and sell used equipment. It's doesn't affect an individual using a computer for scrap.
