We pass on either side here too.

It is supposed to be that slower traffic stays right and passing is done on the left, but I don't think it's an actual law. There are laws that say that you can't pass on the right, but I believe those are specific to 2 lane roads where folks may try to pass on the shoulder.

Around here, it's not unusual for me to get on the highway that's 4-5 lanes in each direction and find the far left lane has the highest density of traffic and the density gradually decreases the farther right you go. I often end up passing where ever there's a hole. I checked the Texas laws, and I can't find anything that says that it's illegal to pass on the right.
