When you read a code, you can't just go around selectively picking words you don't like and leaving them out. You also can't go all through the entire set of code books looking for some subpart to some code that says something you want and then try to say it applies to other codes.
The CA code says "farm labor vehicle." It does not say anything about a farm truck which is not being used to transport laborers.
The TX code 647 you copied states it applies to vehicles used to transport migrant laborers. That means all of it's subparts (like, for instance, 647.012) also apply to vehicles used to transport migrant laborers.
This is why back in the olden days they made us diagram sentences in English....back in the olden days we used logic in language, too, not just in math. Lawyers and judges (well, most of them) still understand logic.
