Question:

do you need a front brake in texas for a motorcycle?

to pass an inspection

Answer:

Considering the front brake is the most powerful of the two brakes and the front brake does most of the work, why in the world would you ride without one??
very big. It has C-14 graphite, which explodes heavily. what is the reason behind asking that by the way?
I one saw a battery in a Caterpillar excavator explode while being charged. This battery was about twice the size of the typical car battery. The battery was inside the excavator's battery compartment so the sound was somewhat muffled, but it still sounded like a large firecracker going off. It was clearly heard over the noise of all the construction activity going on around it.
The inspection criteria for motorcycles in Texas lists Brakes (System) as the 4th item in the list. That's not very specific, but I would be super surprised if they let you go with no front brake. A motorcycle with only a rear brake is a death trap.
Brakes are required on all wheels. They also must pass a brake performance test----able to stop within 30 ft from 20mph Scooters/mopeds only need brakes on one wheel
