Well that LEO might want to ask his department counsel aboutAccording to this cop is not illegal in Texas. But if done dangerously they will ticket you.

Transportation Code Section 545.060,
An operator on a roadway divided into two or more clearly marked lanes for traffic: shall drive as nearly practical entirely within a single lane; and
may not move from the lane unless that movement can be made safely.
Any officer that chooses to cite you for lane sharing can and will likely do so..and is supported by current law on the books from what i understand talking with DPS, DPS MSU representatives. I could be worng but it's the best info I could get from subject matter experts.
Not saying its black and white, clearly and legally laid out either way, just that the laws support citing a rider.
Some here and that officer in the quote may choose to ignore that, but it does not change what is real.
Want lane sharing here in Texas????
Get the laws changed/
Educate the majority of the driving public.
Educate the minority of the motorcycling public that wish to lane share.
And you have a recipe for success here in Texas.
Hint... Typing words on the internet in a motorcycle forum will do none of the above.
