Texas House Gives Final Approval to Texting Ban Bill

If at first you don’t succeed…

From the Dallas Morning News:

A statewide ban on texting while driving won final passage in the Texas House with a 97-45 vote this week.

The legislation by Rep. Tom Craddick, R-Midland, now heads to the Senate. It’s unclear what its final outcome will be if it reaches Gov. Rick Perry’s desk because two years ago Perry vetoed a similar bill.

Craddick’s bill, known as the Alex Brown Memorial Act, honors a Lubbock teen killed while texting and driving. It would ban texting, emailing or reading instant-messaging while driving. Violators could face a $100 fine and a misdemeanor traffic ticket. Motorists could still talk on their cell phones while driving.

About This Blog

The title of this blog reflects my attitude toward those government agencies and insurance companies that routinely mistreat injured or disabled people. As a Dallas, Texas lawyer, I've spent more than 45 years trying to help those poor folk, and I have been frustrated daily by the actions of the people on the other side of their claims. (Sorry if I offended you...)
