Hypothetically, I support such a ban, but I guess the way this is worded is too vague. It's supposed to be a ban on obscene material involving children (AKA "lolicon"), but Texas has left this wide open to also include anything resembling children or something like a cartoon where a child dies.

If you made an anime about a real person who's let's say in their 30s, this ban could hit you with jail time because they were drawn in a way law enforcement views them as underage. Not in a "she's actually a 3,000 year old vampire," bullshit kind of way, but as in "You didn't draw wrinkles on this character so therefore we have to penalize you," kind of way.

Accidentally making fundamentalist Christian kids cartoons illegal would be kinda funny.

Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.
