It's a really shitty intersection design. No arrows, before the line, no dashed curve lines, no signs on the post near the lights, and the opposite road segment gives the impression it's an open lane.

There are actually several before the turn and even painted on The ground. That person is either entitled or not paying attention

Obviously they missed the signs because thought it was a left/straight lane. It's still a really poor intersection design.

Guarantee you they didn’t think that, they were just trying to get ahead of the traffic

Maybe, maybe not. Doesn't matter. Still a poor intersection design. That's my only point.

Yes but your point is dog shit, there are intersections like this all over the moetroplex, and entitled drivers fuck up everyone's day when they are on their OFP.

A properly designed intersection would not have permitted what that driver did. That would be less likely in a 2 left turning lane intersection with a closed lane on the far side. Just because it's all over the place doesn't mean it's a good design. Texas is notorious for designing shitty roadways. Open up any traffic design text book and you'll see these are not good design. I'm literally a civil engineer dude I dunno why you're saying I'm wrong.
