Also, if anyone has a specific question that isn't covered on that site, PM me and I'll look it up in the good 'ol Texas Traffic Code and let you know what it says.
And on the turn signals, Texas does NOT require them if the width of the vehicle is less than 2 feet from the top center of the steering post to the left outside limit of the body, cab, or load of the motor vehicle. But, you have to use either hand signals or lighting lamps. JFYI.
Not arguing Roller, but I just got done looking at Texas DPS motorcycle rules, and they state
"
TURN SIGNAL LAMPS REQUIRED.
(a)Exceptas provided by Subsection (b), a motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer,
or pole trailer shall be equipped with electric turn signal lamps that indicate
the operator's intent to turn by displaying flashing lights to the front and
rear of a vehicle or combination of vehicles and on that side of the vehicle or
combination toward which the turn is to be made.
* * * * *
(c) Turn signal lamps:
(1) shall be mounted at the same level and spaced as widely apart as
practicable on the front and on the rear of the vehicle; and
(2) may be included as a part of another lamp on the vehicle.
(d) A turn signal lamp shall emit:
(1) a white or amber light, or a color between white and amber, if the lamp is
mounted on the front of the vehicle; or
(2) a red or amber light, or a color between red and amber, if the lamp is
mounted on the rear of the vehicle.
(e) A turn signal lamp must be visible in normal sunlight at a distance of:
(1) at least 500 feet from the front and rear of the vehicle if the vehicle is
at least 80 inches wide; and
(2) at least 300 feet from the front and rear of the vehicle if the vehicle is
less than 80 inches wide.

Is the rule you're talking about in subsection "B"?
