The cart comes with most of the equipment you need to be street legal. In Texas we have a few additional requirements you'll need before you can legally drive on public roads.

Here are the rules as written by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles and displayed on their website as of 01/31/21, check your own state and check for updates. I will not be updating this information:

Unique Vehicles:

Unique vehicles include off-highway vehicles, Golf Carts, and Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs). Off-highway vehicles include All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs), Recreational Off-Highway Vehicles (ROVs), Utility Vehicles (UTVs), and Sand Rails. The unique vehicles in each tab below (not shown here) have different types of operation. Click on each tab to find more information about these vehicles and the different types of operation.

Golf Carts:

A Golf Cart is a motor vehicle designed by the manufacturer primarily for use on a golf course. TxDMV does not title and register Golf Carts, but Golf Carts are eligible to receive a Golf Cart license plate. You may obtain a Golf Cart license plate from your county tax assessor-collector’s office. (A plate is about $15.00).

Golf Carts with a Golf Cart license plate may be operated on roads in the following situations:

In a master planned community with a uniform set of restrictive covenants and a county or municipality approved plat

On a public or private beach that is open to vehicular traffic

On a highway with a posted speed limit of 35 mph, during the daytime and not more than two miles from the location where it is usually parked for transportation to and from a golf course

To cross intersections, including an intersection with a highway that has a posted speed limit of more than 35 mph.

Golf Carts must have the following minimum equipment:

Headlamps
Tail lamps
Reflectors
Parking brake
Mirrors

Additionally, cities or certain counties may authorize operation of Golf Carts on roads within the boundaries of the city or within unincorporated areas of certain counties. The Golf Cart must display a Golf Cart license plate when operated on roads authorized by the city or county. Operation may be authorized only on roads with a speed limit of 35 mph or less.

If operated on the roads at a speed of 25 mph or less, a Golf Cart is required to display a slow-moving vehicle emblem. (The orange triangular emblem in the video is aluminum and I paid $18.00).
