If anyone puts a seat belt behind his/her shoulder, they are free to fly through the windshield during an accident.  You need to read the regulations carefully.  Seatbelts serve a purpose.

Texas Seat Belt Law

The Texas seat belt statute

Like every state except for New Hampshire, Texas has a law on the books requiring the use of safety restraints for people riding in motor vehicles. In this case, the relevant law is Sec. 545.413 of the Transportation Code, which details the circumstances in which seat belt use is required and the fines for not doing so. Under section A of this statute, it is illegal for anyone, adult or child, to ride in the front seat of a vehicle that has seat belts without having their seat belt properly fastened. Section B states that it is illegal for anyone under the age of 17 to ride in any part of a motor vehicle without a seat belt if the vehicle is equipped with them. Therefore, adults can use their discretion when riding in the back, although you should always wear a seat belt anyway for safety reasons. Under this statute, the driver is responsible for making sure all passengers are secured as required by Texas safety restraint law.
