Is it legal to drive a right side drive vehicle in Texas?
Autos transported to the US that don't go through dealers have to be modified to meet US standards. Such as cataylytic converters. So it would seem logical that the steering wheel, etc. would have to be on the left. With the obvious exception of US postal trucks/vans. Depending on where you are I don't think what you are describing (as long as it's legally equipped and passes smog) is neither illegal or encouraged. Regardless of legal issues, would you really want to drive in such a position when our traffic travels the opposite way that those cars are designed for? It can be very frustrating, and difficult, but every once in a while I do see those out there! Take a trip to New York City, and look at the GrayLine double decker tour buses. They are all RIGHT HAND DRIVE, built in England, and imported to the USA. Here in Toronto, Canada, I work for a tour company that also uses the same type open top double decker buses , for city tours. The driver's compartment is a small cabin on the right front corner of the bus, next to the curb. It does take some getting used to, but it can be learned. So YES, it is both possible and legal to do this. There is no federal requirement that automobiles be left-hand drive, and I am almost certain no state requires it either. RHD gray-market cars are imported for street-legal use all the time. There are many cars roaming around today in the US that are righ-hand drive including the imported Japanese version of the Nissan Skyline and other "direct import" cars. Some cars almost have to be right-hand drive--the little trucks the Post Office delivers mail in are an example.

What side of the cars in Italy are the steering wheels?
In Italy, people drive on the right side of the road. So cars made to be used in Italy - or any other right-side-traffic country - have the steering wheel on the LEFT side, to put the driver closer to the middle of the road. The only regular exception are cars imported from left-side markets and some delivery vans etc.
