Texting while driving is against the law in Texas. That doesn’t stop some drivers from texting behind the wheel. That’s why it probably comes as no surprise that texting drivers in Houston regularly cause serious car accidents on major roads such as Richmond Avenue and Greenbriar Drive and major highways like I-69 and I-45.
