Re: Motorist protection act and atv's

We are going on a day long expedition this weekend and I was wanting to know if I could carry. Some of the areas we ride are public land, but nearby residents consider it their own since it is not maintained by the state.

ATV's cannot be made street legal in Texas, period. Already seen that discussed in ATV forums numerous times.

Thank you
Wrong, there are places doing just that. DOT tires, blinkers horn are needed but there are street legal atvs running around. I have seen them on the roads myself with M/C plates.

Is it even legal to ride an ATV on a public road?
no and no.
I guess that alvins three words cover it.
Normal atv's can not be driven on the road but there are ways to make them DOT approved and licensed as motorcycles. There are companies around Houston doing that.
