How many rear red reflectors must a motorcycle have?

A motorcycle is required to have one rear red reflector. This requirement ensures that the motorcycle is visible to drivers approaching from behind, especially at night or in low-light conditions. The single red reflector works in conjunction with the motorcycle’s tail light to enhance visibility and safety on the road.

Having more than one reflector may provide additional visibility but is not a requirement under Texas law. The focus is on ensuring that the motorcycle meets the minimum standards set for safety. Therefore, one rear red reflector suffices to fulfill the legal requirements for motorcycle visibility in Texas.
