Texas law requires any person under the age of 21 to wear a helmet when on a motorcycle, including passengers and drivers. Drivers and riders over the age of 21 are required to wear a helmet unless one of the following applies:
The individual has completed an approved motorcycle operator training course.
The individual has medical insurance coverage of at least $10,000 to cover any injuries that may occur in an accident.
Even if you are not legally required to wear a helmet, it is strongly recommended. Motorcyclists are incredibly vulnerable to injury in the event of an accident, and a helmet will help to protect your head and neck. Make sure to get a US DOT-approved motorcycle helmet to ensure maximum protection.
