They are not.  I can dig out statutes, if you need them.

Does anyone on this list know if condoms are a controlled item in Texas
or Oklahoma. I would suspect not since they are on the shelf at most
stores and in machines in some restrooms. However, cigarettes used to be
in machines and they were a controlled item. And beer is on the shelf
and it is a controlled item. So, anyone know for a fact?

I see you point here, but we, as Chirurgeons, are not the arbiters of
morality.  That is up to the parents to teach and enforce.  To get into
the middle of something like this could just backfire into a full-blown
disaster. 

I work with teenagers, and have for years.  I will also say this,
although it may draw fire:  teenagers are fully capable of walking into
CVS and buying a box of condoms.  They don't ask, either.

I would be interested to hear from those who are either Middle
School/High School counselors and/or related health professionals (since
they probably deal with in on a more frequent basis than the average
Chiurgeon).

However, IMHO, since the individual in question is under legal age to
purchase said condom, I would say no. If they persist, then I would ask
the teen to have their parent(s) come ask for it.  Then I would ask the
parents why they believe their son should need a condom.

If the teen does not want their parents to be involved, then I would
remind said teen that the legal age of consent in Texas is 17 years of
age.  There have been statutory rape cases where both the individuals
involved were as young as 14.
