Applicability of the Laws

The Texas Transportation Code serves as the statutory framework governing transportation-related activities within the state. However, it is imperative to delineate the scope of its applicability to ensure that individuals who are not involved in transportation activities are not erroneously charged with violations of the code. Reference to Texas Transportation Code Section 201.904 and the definition of “Motor Vehicle” provided in 18 USC § 31(a)(6) supports the argument that certain provisions of the code apply exclusively to commercial entities engaged in transportation for commercial purposes.
