Answer: According to Sec. 545.106 of the Texas Transportation Code that talks about signaling, “Except as provided by Subsection (b), an operator required to give a stop or turn signal shall do so by:

  • using the hand and arm; or
  • lighting signal lamps approved by the department.”

So yes, it is legal to signal with your arm to indicate that you are turning.
