If you live in Texas you can take heart and feel safer than if you were to live in other states. There is a law on the books here that requires criminals to give the victims of their crimes a 24-hour notice in writing or orally before committing said crime. The criminal also is required to explain the nature of the crime he is about to commit and why. Believe it or not this is only one of the strange laws in Texas.
Looking for silly outdated laws still on the books in the State of Texas we came across some that made us laugh and some that left us puzzled and the best of them all had to do with driving on Texas roads.
In Borger, Texas you cannot throw any confetti, rubber balls, feather dusters, whips or quirts (riding crops), or explosive firecrackers from your car window - if you get caught expect to get a major ticket.
If you want to sell your car in Richardson, don't place a "for sale" sign the window if it will be visible from the street - this could land you with a major fine. In Richardson it is also illegal to do a U-turn at anytime and other types of 'irregular turns' can lead to a $225 citation.
In Temple, you can get a citation for disrupting town peace if you ride your horse and buggy or drive any type of vehicle through the town square. You can only ride your horse at night in Texarkana if it has appropriate taillights.
Texas state law requires all vehicles have windshield wipers - this makes sense, except that all cars are not required to have windshields!
Driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is never a good idea, but here in Texas, if you are riding in your own car while you are drunk and the person who is driving your car is drunk as well, both of you will be charged.
Finally, at times your outfit behind the wheel can draw the wrong type of attention and lead to fines of all sorts around the country. It's illegal to be blindfolded or barefooted if you're driving in the state of Alabama. In California, it's illegal for a lady to wear a housecoat while she is driving. And in Virginia, driving while not wearing shoes is prohibited.
