What the Texas Motorcycle Operator Training Manual says about Texas motorcycle laws

  • Equipment

    Texas requires a moped to have a brake, a head lamp, a reflector and a rear lamp. p. 2

  • Equipment

    The required equipment is only a minimum: a mirror on each side and extra reflectors are good ideas for riding in traffic. p. 2

  • Helmet and Passengers

    Texas requires helmets that meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 218 for motorcycle operators and passengers, on all motorcycles and mopeds whatever their size or number of wheels (unless an exemption applies). p. 3

  • Licensing and Operation

    Anyone operating a motorcycle on a public highway in Texas must hold a valid Class M license; this also covers three-wheel motorcycles, motor-driven cycles and mopeds. p. 3

  • Skills Test and Waiver Information

    For the skills test waiver, an adult may present the MSB-8 completion certificate (or a card from a course meeting Motorcycle Safety Foundation standards), and their Class A, B or C license must be unrestricted; a learner license does not count. p. 4

  • Disabled Parking

    In Texas it is a violation, with a fine of $500 to $750, to park, stand or stop any vehicle, motorcycles included, in a disabled person parking space without the right plate or placard. p. 6
