Texas Motorcycle Helmet Law

Generally, Texas requires all riders and passengers to wear a helmet that meets the safety standard of the state's Department of Public Safety.

However, those 21 and over who successfully complete an approved motorcycle operator training and safety course or those covered by a health insurance plan providing at least $10,000 in medical benefits for injuries incurred while operating the motorcycle can drive the bike without wearing a helmet.

The Department issues stickers to those 21 and older who apply to be exempt from the helmet law, provide evidence of a current motorcycle registration in Texas, and successfully complete a training or safety course or provide evidence of required health insurance. The sticker costs $5 for each motorcycle registered, and it expires every three years. Under Texas law, the sticker is to be displayed on the license plate, and operators and riders riding on a bike with a sticker are presumed to be in compliance with the law.

If you are subject to the mandatory helmet law, it's best to check with the Department of Public Safety to learn about current helmet safety standards before taking to the open road on a motorcycle.
