	It depends on what part of TX.  I think I've seen posted
minumum signs in one place or another, although I can't remember
where.

	Just this weekend, on my way to San Antonio from Austin
(on I-35) they had a bunch of signs that said "Left Lane is for
Passing Only."  Now, I agree with you that TX is probably the worst
place for vehicles driving slow in the left lane, but it looks like
some (perhaps feeble) attempts are being made to try to stop this.
