Texas statewide rule
Yes, you may turn right on red in Texas after coming to a complete stop and yielding, unless a sign prohibits it.
At a steady circular red light, stop at the marked stop line or, if there is none, before entering the near-side crosswalk. After stopping, wait until the intersection can be entered safely and yield to pedestrians and sidewalk users lawfully in an adjacent crosswalk and to other traffic lawfully using the intersection. You may then turn right unless a posted notice prohibits the turn.
