Texas traffic law requires all vehicles (including motorcycles) to travel within marked lanes. Although not explicitly banned, this effectively makes lane splitting illegal. Lane splitting carries a high risk of collision. Motorcycles are smaller than cars, and a driver might pull in front of your bike without realizing that you are riding in between lanes. Because of the restrictions on lane splitting, you will likely be found at fault if an accident occurs. To reduce your risk of an accident and avoid liability, then, it is worth staying in your lane.
