Deal with established providers. That doesn't necessarily restrict you to ECCIE or P411 providers, though that's good advice. There are many providers who advertise on Backpage (massage and women seeking men) who have been around for a long time and who aren't members of either of the former two sites.
Some providers are newbie-friendly. Others require references or some way to screen you. If you are uncomfortable with providing the information she is requesting for screening, move on. If she means that much to you, you can return when you have built up a few references.
Here's one idea that might benefit you: Find a girl who's on P411 AND who advertises on Backpage. When you call, tell her you saw her ad on BP; don't mention P411 or ECCIE. Or do the same with girls who have ECCIE Showcases and who also advertise on BP. The idea is that, whatever screening they do, it's probably different for some guy calling off of a BP ad than someone contacting her through P411 or ECCIE. I seriously doubt, for example, that if you call and say you saw the BP ad, you'll be checked for how many P411 okays you have and asked for two or three references. And you can be reasonably assured that, although the girls are advertising on BP, you won't get ripped off.
Remember that, if you've read reviews, you know a lot more about her than she does about you. So while your apprehension level may be pretty low, she's still likely to have her guard up until she figures out that you're not a threat (legal, physical, or financial) to her.
Read the relevant section of the Texas Penal Code regarding prostitution. Realize that it's pretty hard to make a prostitution case against a client UNLESS he says or does something stupid. So don't say or do anything stupid.
IN GENERAL, since prostitution is a Class B misdemeanor, law enforcement typically doesn't devote a lot of effort to it. Things that increase the likelihood of LE's attention: two things that we can't talk about here, streetwalkers, pimps, and complaints from neighbors, whether they are other guests at a hotel, commercial neighbors, or in nearby houses or apartments.
Bottom line: There is some legal risk in the hobby, but, unless you're choosing to spend time with some really bad people, as long as you're not looking for love in all the (literally) wrong places, as long as you don't say something stupid, your risk as a client is pretty low.
Below the bottom line: You have to do your own risk assessment.
Caveat: I'm not a lawyer, just someone who's been doing this for a long time,
