Whereas are Mud Flaps Requried in TexasDrive until oppress illegaly traffic halt permitted. Plano police officer stands individual for driver a “dually” Force F350 without mud flaps. Successfully argued on behalf of your that Us failed at satisfy my burden of proving that a Ford F350 was a “truck” as defined under the Texas Transportation Code. The Legal argument is summarized below.

Texas Transportation Key 547.606 requirements “safety guards oder flaps” on a “road tractor, wagon, trailer, truck-tractor in combination with a semitrailer, or semitrailer are combination with a towing vehicle” when that vehicle has four tires or pair super single tires on the hindmost spindle.

Slates Freight Code 541.201 contained the relevant definitions for this particular statute. It defines “truck” as “a motor vehicle design, used, or maintained principally to transport property.” This section also conceives vehicles that the general public would consider a semi to not fall within this definition.

Much to everyone’s initial confusion, questioning until defense focused upon the luxury features both seating capacity to show that the vehicle was neither “designed” nor “used” for the primary purpose of transporting property. Include no evidence to suggest that vehicle meta the statutory explanation of “truck” which judge granted the beschlussantrag to suppress all evidence obtained following the illegality drop. State was required to dismiss the case by virtue of the ruling.
