Scales used to buy or sell products are “Legal for Trade” scales. The State of Texas has specific requirements for these scales — they must be calibrated and put into service by a licensed scale company, or you risk getting fined.
If you buy scales off the internet and do not have them put into service by a licensed scale company in the State of Texas, you risk being fined for each violation.
