Tyler, the short answer is Yes! Unfortunately, many drivers consider their time behind the wheel as an opportunity to make phone calls, send text messages, surf the web or use social media, even though for the most part this conduct is now illegal. In 2017, the Texas Legislature passed a statewide ban on using a wireless communications device for electronic messaging while operating a motor vehicle. The safest policy is to drive now and use your cell phone later. If you must make a phone call or send a text, pull over. Otherwise, wait until you reach your destination to use the phone. Our firm has successfully handled hundreds of claims against people who caused wrecks while texting.
