Texting while driving

TEXTING WHILE DRIVING IS OUTLAWED IN TEXAS

On Friday, May 19, 2017,the Texas Senate HB 62, which outlaws texting while driving. The new law does not effect talking on a cell phone while driving or texting on a map app for directions. 

“I have waited 10 years to make this motion,” said state Sen. Judith Zaffirini.
The state’s rules, if signed by the governor, would supersede city texting bans and allow for other uses such as mapping features. Cities, such as Austin and Bellaire, could still prohibit talking on a phone while driving, or require hands-free devices to talk on a phone while driving.

Under the state ban, drivers could still text when the vehicle is not in motion, and use their phone for texting in case of emergency.

The bill only requires the signature of the governor and it will become law sometime in the near future.
