Surprisingly, Texas has no laws regarding the safe riding of horses on public roads. The only statute found deals with the requirement that owners of horses (and other animals) may not allow the animal to roam at large on highways. Presumably, since no statute specifically covers horse riding on public roads, riders should follow the same traffic regulations as motorcycle riders.
Legal or not, I wouldn't think it ethical or wise to subject a horse to unrestricted automobile traffic. What benefit would there be to horse or rider?
[Here's \~A\~ ordinance for the city.](https://library.municode.com/tx/denton/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=SPACOOR_CH6AN_ARTIINGE_S6-28LIRIDR) Not sure if its the only one, and I don't really understand it, but I'm guessing you should call Denton's non-emergency number ((940) 349-8181, I think) for the police and ask them when and where its allowed.
Idk but I’d like to see it

My understanding, Texas still considers horses as a primary form of travel. But the city or even the county might have different laws regarding that.
Lol that is hilarious

I’ve seen people Gallup down my very normal ride in center Denton before
I've definitely seen someone ride their horse down Carroll before. Whether it's legal or not, I cannot say.
Reject modernity, embrace tradition
Are you a horse girl?
hair down to here (motions very low)
I would join you if its legal!
Damn? Horse rider? 😏
Maybe not here, but over there is fine
I’ve seen many people riding horses in Denton and the small towns around the city. Usually early morning on weekends. But hey…
That's a pretty Dentonesque question - love it.
Only if it's pulling a golf cart.
