Yes. Texas requires a locksmith license to possess picks.

Depends on State law and, in some places, City or county law too.
A State / City / County can ban the mere possession of such items, or they can put an 'intent' requirement on, or they can require a license or permit, it's up to the legislators.

They're illegal if you are using them to commit a crime. If you're using them to get into your own property or you are working as a locksmith or any other occupation where as part of your duties you need access to a vehicle or property then it's o.k.
