These "folks" were riding on the busy loop around Nacogdoches and Andrew (our son) being the photographer that he is snapped this pic.
Stupidity at it's finest.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.

"Keep fighting for freedom and justice... but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cat, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin' ass and celebratin' the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was."

It would be illegal in any state that requires the passenger to have their feet on the passenger foot pegs, but, we're talking TEXAS here, after all!

"Try, assess, adjust, repeat. That's how kids learn through playing. Adults can learn that way, too, once we get over the the idea that doing something incorrectly makes us look stupid. Failure isn't an option in learning... it's a requirement." - me, a while ago.

Poor kid.
Is the kid wearing dad's helmet?
Yeah, an adult sized helmet being held on by the mom. Tragedy waiting to happen.
Well it's deep EAST Texas (almost into Louisianna)....it's a whole different world down there.It would be illegal in any state that requires the passenger to have their feet on the passenger foot pegs, but, we're talking TEXAS here, after all!
Makes me mad just looking at the picture....stupid, stupid people.
Here's the law:
From the Texas Dept. of Public Saftey.
12. What are the laws regarding motorcycle passengers?
Prior to September 1, 2009 there was no minimum age, height or weight requirement. HB4449 passed in the 81st Legislative Session and it requires a passenger be at least five years old.

The traditional 3-up in China is to have the child sandwiched between the father and mother. It's easier to keep the kid upright. Only in the 4-up does a kid get to ride on the gas tank. The kid needs to be old enough to hold himself up. If they're going to ride like this on a regular basis the sissy bar needs to go. In China flat seats rule because they allow riders to slide back and forward, accommodating more seating positions.
I hope they were not going fast. I personally would not ride like this with a kid so small, but that's me.
