Is Lanesplitting legal in TX?
 
Don't see any laws against it..but what would cops do?

Unsafe operation, illegal passing, failure to maintain control, failure to maintain lane, plus any of a thousand local ordinances that are on the books that vary town to town.

Thats just off the top of my head there are more that they can get you with

Just wheelie through the lanes. Cops in Texas are very tolerant.

Its not illegal in TX...at least it does not say anywhere that splitting is illegal. Just like CA. Its not legal in CA...but its not illegal.

Agreed, but it is enforced in TX unlike CA where it is not enforced

Actually, california allows for lane splitting. and if its NOT legal, its illegal. thats just basic logic right there. here there are laws specifically prohibiting passing another vehicle in the same lane as that vehicle occupies.

I didn't say it was NOT legal..I stated there was nothing on the books that says its NOT legal or illegal. Also, in CA you are allowed to lane share, not lane split.

I also heard Atlanta in the city allows for lanesplitting.
