Texas PFD Requirements

Children under 13 years of age in motorboats under 26 feet must wear a U.S. Coast Guard approved PFD while underway.

All vessels under 16 feet (including canoes and kayaks) must be equipped with one Type I, II, III or V for each person on board.

Vessels 16 feet and longer, in addition to the Type I, II, III or V for each person on board, must have one Type IV which must be readily accessible. Canoes and kayaks over 16 feet are exempt from the Type IV requirement.
