Texas tried to pass a law a couple years ago to make it legal there, but it didn't pass.

bzzzt. It's not legal. It's just not illegal. I've done a lot of research on lane splitting in trying to get it legal up here in WA. I've even testified in order to try to get our bill passed. the situation in which you won't be pulled over for lane sharing in CA are completely up to the officer witnessing you. If they've got a bee in their collar, they'll pull you over and tell you that you were going to fast or whatever. But there are no laws on the books regarding lane splitting.
