7 Weird Texas Driving Laws That Still Exist in 2025
(KNUE-FM) We have found 7 of the strangest laws on the books in Texas regarding driving.
By the way, don't even THINK about letting your camel run loose on the beach in Galveston, Texas, or riding your horse at a fast speed on a Texarkana, Texas sidewalk.
Granted, those aren't about driving in particular, but truly bizarre and fascinating, nonetheless.
I'm personally thankful for the traffic laws we have on the books when driving around Tyler, Texas. We have enough problems as it is without worrying about uncaged bears in the backseat of our vehicles.

Granted, not all of these laws are that strange, but they will likely surprise some of us.

Yeah, that particular law isn't enforced on the regular, I'm thinking.
Jedi Mind Powers Don’t Count
In another Texas city, it is illegal to drive without a steering wheel. UM. So, maybe that would make sense to apply everywhere unless one is planning on moving with their Jedi mind powers?
Some Laws Are Old… But Still Laws
Some of these laws are a bit outdated and need a little tweaking here and there, and were enacted in response to specific situations.
Whatever the case, they are still on the books. Let's take a look at the 7 weirdest driving laws on the books in Texas.
