State law roundup
Which states don’t allow right turns on red?
No state in our current reviewed coverage completely bans right turns on red. We currently cover Ohio and Texas; this is not yet a complete 50-state answer.
Ohio
Yes, you may turn right on red after you stop and yield, unless a sign prohibits it.
At a steady circular red signal, stop at the marked stop line, before the near-side crosswalk if there is no stop line, or before entering the intersection if neither exists. After stopping, you may turn right unless a traffic-control device prohibits the turn or a steady red arrow is displayed. The turn remains subject to the right-of-way rules that apply after a stop sign.

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.
