Legal Question in Traffic Law in Texas

right turn verses texas uturn

Intersection with a single right turn lane and light. Three lane road to turn onto. Third lane has a texas uturn (with yield sign) merging in 100 feet down. 1) is it legal to make a right turn into the far left lane? 2) if not whose at fault if person in uturn lane pulls out and is hit? 3) if so the question is moot.

Re: right turn verses texas uturn
