Not only that, but the person using the air horn is liable for any resulting accidents from using it on top of the fine for using it.
I remember one case my father(who was a police officer) told me about where a guy was stopped at a light that just turned green and the cars in front of him were not getting up to go as quick as he was wanting so he used his air horn. Right about that time a lady was slowing down to a stop right behind him. The loud sound scared her so much she jumped and let her food off the brake ramming into the back of the guy that used the air horn. My Dad said the look on the guys face when he told him that he was at fault for the accident and that he could not drive off in his vehicle until he removed the horn or detach the air lines was priceless. He especially liked it since the guy was yelling and screaming at the lady to the point she was crying before my Dad arrived.
I'm so glad I live in Texas too, but for many other reasons... On the air horn topic I didn't know they're illegal here. It was just last week I was at lunch walking in the parking lot that I saw a truck with 2 air horns mounted inside his bed in plain view.
