Texas Nitrous Laws II Maybe I can help those in Texas...
Under the Transportation Code I found NOTHING governing the usage or transportation of Nitrous Oxide on a non commercial vehicle. I have gone through
"Transportation and Movement of Vehicles" (Chapter 545 The BIG One0
"Vehicle Equipment"
"Motor Vehicle Safety and Responsibility Act"
"Modification of or Tampering with Equipment of Motor Vehicle"
Anyway no references to Nitrous Oxide at all.
Under the Health and Safety Code I found that Nitrous Oxide is NOT considered a Hazardous Substance. (They did not include Oxidizer in the description)
Nitrous is also NOT considerer a volitile chemical. (Health and Safety code)
So, I think we are cool...
In eight years of Law Enforcement I have never heard of anyone being ticketed/arrested for the transportation or usage of Nitrous Oxide, other than those that were involved in a street race at the time <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> I also made some phone calls on this and could not find one Officer that knows anything about a law governing the usage or transportation of Nitrous Oxide on a noncommercial vehicle.
So from what the law states it is legal to transport. It is legal to be connected. Hell, it is legal to spray as long as you don't break any other laws...
BTW I hyperlinked the chapter 545 so you can look up basiclly anything to do with a traffic citation in Texas...

Re: Texas Nitrous Laws II I think the only way it is really dangerous in this sense is if the bottle comes loose. If the bottle were to come loose and the valve broke off it is a possible rocket flying around an accident seen.
