Some of them are surprisingly legal, depending on the width of the car. They’re popular in Houston, and so long as the total width of the vehicle doesn’t exceed 102 inches they may be legal in Texas. Lots of them do make the vehicle wider than 8 feet, but for probable cause it has to be glaringly obvious they’re over 102 inches, and that’s not always legally clear. They mostly get tickets for them if they get pulled over for something else and the cops measure them during the stop.
