Is passing on the right illegal on a multilane hwy

I see this come up a lot.

If you are on a multilane highway, lets say 4 lanes in each direction, and there is someone camped in the left lane, is it illegal to pass on the right?

I don't think it is, at least not in Texas.

If you are on a 2 lane fwy (1 lane each direction) and you come up behind someone and pass them on the right, I think that's illegal, but I don't think it applies to multilane (per direction) freeways. I think the purpose is to keep people from passing on the shoulder.

What say you?
