Lawmakers consider texting and driving ban
This could be the year that Texas bans texting while driving.
In the past it has failed to become a law. One time it passed the legislature only to be vetoed by then Gov. Rick Perry.

“Some of the worst things to do as a father is have to sit your 10-year-old son down and say, ‘I’m sorry. Mom and Tita were killed last night,’” James Shaffer said.
Several Texas cities passed their own law when the legislature failed to do so.
