Texas Lawmakers Take Dead Aim at Texting-While-Driving
Texas legislators currently meeting in Austin are considering several variations on the same theme: Texas law should forbid texting while driving. In fact, the only real debate it seems is whether the definition of “texting” should include reading emails on a cell phone. Senate Bill 119 and House Bill 103, for instance, prohibit reading, writing or sending text messages while driving; the more expansive Senate Bill 46 and House Bill 243 target phone-based text communication and specifically include emails.
