Texas Car Seat Laws
Texas child passenger safety laws require children younger than five years of age and less than 36 inches in height to ride in an approved car seat or booster seat. Additionally, Texas law states that during the operation of the vehicle, the child must be properly secured in a child passenger safety car seat system according to the instructions of the manufacturer of the safety seat system. Children under age 17 must be buckled into the vehicle with a seat belt. This law changed on Sept. 1, 2005. The new law increased the age requirement for child safety seats from 4 to 5 years of age.
