Since the speed limit on a beach is 15mph, and a golf cart in some areas is considered a "community vehicle" meaning in certain communities with golf courses they can be used on the road to go from home to course. I don't think they are "legal" on a beach, but that could depend on the city of which the beach lies. And no, putting a orange slow moving vehicle placard on the back of a SxS and trying to pass it as a farm implement, which can be driven on roads and highways, will not sufice (although it was a good try)

Used the triangle for years with no issue...unless you find a cop with a chip on his shoulder you'll be fine.

ROVs may not be driven on public roads unless the:

■vehicle is owned by a state, county or municipality and operated on a public beach or highway to maintain public safety and welfare,
■driver is a farmer or a rancher traveling no more than 25 miles,
■driver is a public utility worker, or
■driver is a law enforcement officer.

That's from the DPS. As long as I am 25 miles from the ranch it is Bueno.

If I need more it does have a hitch and tow rating of 1,500 lbs for the dear lease I will buy the mini trailer for it.

Waiting for a review from you on the Wildcat. My FIL is looking to buy one.

I hate to burst your bubble, but you can't legally ride those on Texas beaches, Texas beaches are highways. You can drive your registered vehicle, but no OHV's



The wild cat is awesome I love it.. as far as the beach thing.. you can purchase a permit to drive on bolever beach in galveston.. it is a yearly permit and it cost $5 they do not care if it is street legal as long as the state gets its $5. We can drive on our beaches it must suck to be in your area..

That might be what Corpus Christi has too, I know all those golf carts have some way to drive there.
