Thankfully, our strip clubs are well protected by the state constitution.

This article sort of suggested that that type of legislation needs to happen in Texas too. It seems like a pretty vicious cycle and one easy to fall into, especially, I guess ironically, if your credit is pretty fucked up to begin with.
The article sort of followed one woman's credit history in what they called the "fringe economy" and I suspect her story is not atypical. There were quite a few letters to the editor sneering at her cycle of debt, but I imagine affulent people get into the same sort of trouble with more legitimate credit card debt, which is at least regulated.
