Pedestrians have the right of way at both marked and unmarked crossings in
Texas, which is pretty common in other states of the USA. Sticking strictly
to legal implications, marked crossings define a space where cars can't
occupy while stopped.

I do believe that in at least some parts of Texas, zebra crossings have
some additional legal/right-of-way implications. In this case, when I say
zebra, I mean the diagonal stripes enclosed by parallel lines that outline
the crossing. I have poor internet access at the moment, or I'd provide a
source.
