Hi, can I turn right at red light in TX? Because I will visit TX include HOUSTON area, DALLAS area and AUTIN area this weekend and after that will move to HOUSTON, TX soon. Thank you.

You can turn right on red after STOPPING and yielding to pedestrians, except there is a "no turn on red" sign.

§ 544.007. TRAFFIC-CONTROL SIGNALS IN GENERAL.
(d) An operator of a vehicle facing only a steady red signal shall stop at a clearly marked stop line. In the absence of a stop line, the operator shall stop before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection. A vehicle that is not turning shall remain standing until an indication to proceed is shown. After stopping, standing until the intersection may be entered safely, and yielding right-of-way to pedestrians lawfully in an adjacent crosswalk and other traffic lawfully using the intersection, the operator may:
(1) turn right; or
(2) turn left, if the intersecting streets are both one-way streets and a left turn is permissible.

(e) An operator of a vehicle facing a steady yellow signal is warned by that signal that:
(1) movement authorized by a green signal is being terminated; or
(2) a red signal is to be given.

(f) The Texas Transportation Commission, a municipal authority, or the commissioners court of a county may prohibit within the entity's jurisdiction a turn by an operator of a vehicle facing a steady red signal by posting notice at the intersection that the turn is prohibited.

Unless there is a sign stating "no right turn on red", yes. Those aren't too common though...but they do exist.

I just wish all transplants would ask and find out the answer to this. [Mod cut: sorry, we are not going to start with that]

Make sure you come to a real stop. Else, the cops may fine you for a rolling stop.

We have one at an exit from our neighborhood, after a couple of Life Flight serious accidents occurred due to a street curve limiting the sight lines of oncomming traffic at the intersection.

And stop at the line, not half way round the corner.

Thank you, everybody. I will be careful, when I drive in TX.
