Texas StatewideCell Phone Ban in School Zones Starts Tomorrow
September 1, a new law goes into effect statewide that prohibits the use of cell phones in reduced-speed school zones. The law does allow drivers to use cell phones while their vehicle is stopped in a school zone, or with a hands-free device. In addition, a cell phone may be used in a school zone when making an emergency call to the police, fire department, and/or emergency medical services. This law also applies to bus drivers. Violators are subject to a fine of up to $200.
