Prior to September 1, 2009 there was no minimum age, height or weight requirement. HB537 passed in the 81st Legislative Session and it requires a passenger be at least five years old. No changes were made to helmet requirements: if under 21 years old a passenger must still wear a helmet, if over 21 years old a passenger can ride without a helmet if the driver meets the helmet exemption requirements.
For more information on passengers, visit: Texas Transportation Codeand read Chapter 545 Section 416.
For more information on the helmet law and exemptions, visit: Texas Transportaion Code and read Chapter 661 Section 003.
