When can a child sit in the front seat in texas

As of now, children under the age of eight cannot sit in the front seat. However, exceptions can be made for certain circumstances such as when a child is sick or has limited mobility. The law states that if there are no other passengers sitting behind the driver’s seat and if your vehicle does not have an active passenger-side air bag to protect someone who rides in the front, you may allow a child over four years old but less than five feet tall to ride up front with you.
