Head shops and what do I need to know?

Hello everyone. I want to get a piece of glassware from a head shop for use. If I were located in the state of Texas, what would I need to know to stay out of legal trouble for entering and purchasing something from inside of the store? I want to keep my car, and avoid any jail time or fees for having paraphernalia in my car after purchasing it. If I get stopped by police after departing the store do I just say it's for tobacco use and show them a pack of cigarettes lol? I've never been to one of these stores. I have no idea what I'm doing.
I don't want to order online because it's expensive with shipping prices and the last few times I ordered anything they all came in the mail smashed up.
I don't want to buy a pack of cigarettes...

you shouldn't get stopped after leaving... but you are in texas. 
Yeah you say its for tobacco use - i recently was getting harassed because cops found rolling papers in my glove box and i said its for tobacco.
they were like, well your smoking one now thats not hand rolled!
i go, doesn't mean i don't roll my own I'm just lazy right now.

Without any residont in it, its just a piece of glass. Read up on the constitution and your rights. Don't fear the police.

no you should be afraid of them, they can take advantage of their authority and fuck with you in unconstitutional ways and nothings going to happen to them.
but it is good to be informed on your rights as a citizen, that you should do

Yeah, cops are insane. I have some fucked up stories of one in particular from my home town that involves me, but that's not what this thread is about.

I lived in TX for a long time. It's not the Nazi-like place some people here think it is. I mean it's no haven for drug use but I feel like if you're breaking the law in front of a cop in 99% of the places in America they're probably going to give you shit regardless of in which state you live. The only issue you'll have is if the glass has weed resin in it, or if you're stupid enough to admit to a cop that it's for illegal drug use. This is like asking if you'll be arrested on murder charges if you go to Academy and buy a gun; it's just a piece of metal/plastic until it's used. Think about it, if the pipes were illegal, how could the head shop have hundreds of them for sale to anyone over 18? I've taken a Toro with a nail, dabber, and bowl (all spotless, no resin) through the airport in my carry-on luggage and didn't even raise an eyebrow through TSA screening.
Remember, when you go into the head shop it's "water pipe" for a bong. I'm not sure if the word "dabbing" is allowed so I just stick with "concentrates" instead to be safe. Everything is "for tobacco use only" (naturally). Anything you say related to illegal drugs usually they'll straight up kick you out of the store so be careful which words you use.

up in new england head shops have stopped giving a fuck about your jargon. people used to get kicked out for using the word bong. now i walk in the the guys trying to sell me different butane to "blast" with.
one chick even let me test the bongs out before i bought them, like fill them up with water and see how they pull. she was hot too i woulda loved to actually toke with her.
