Tomorrow House Bill 80 goes to the floor of the Texas House of Representatives for a vote. The bill would ban texting while driving across the state, making Texas the 46th state to pass such a law.
While the bill has enjoyed bipartisan support in the legislature and broad public support across the state it has failed several times to make it from bill to law, being vetoed by former Governor Rick Perry in 2011 and was failed to pass the Texas Senate in 2013.
There are 38 cities across Texas that have prohibited texting while driving, San Antonio's own ban on all hand held phone use while driving began in January of this year.
Is it time to pass texting while driving in Texas? Is it enforceable?
Guest:
Rep. Tom Craddick, Texas House member from west Texas (R-Midland).
