Distracted Driving Laws in Texas

Texas has a statewide ban on reading, writing, or sending electronic messages while driving, under Texas Transportation Code § 545.4251, enacted in 2017. That law does not ban all handheld phone use (talking on a handheld phone is generally still legal under state law), though several North Texas cities have adopted stricter local ordinances requiring hands-free devices for calls as well. Regardless of which specific law applies, a distracted driver who causes a crash can be held liable for negligence.

To establish liability in a distracted driving case, you'll generally need to show:

  • Duty of care: The other driver owed a duty to operate their vehicle safely.
  • Breach of duty: The driver breached that duty through distracted behavior, such as texting or using an electronic device.
  • Causation: The distraction was the proximate cause of the accident.
  • Damages: You suffered losses as a result of the crash.

  • A thorough investigation is key. Phone records, witness statements, surveillance footage, and police reports can all help establish that the other driver was distracted at the time of the crash.

  • Compensation can cover medical bills, lost income, property damage, emotional distress, and, in some cases, punitive damages. As local attorneys in Fort Worth who have considerable experience with distracted driving cases, we will consider every loss (current and future) and pursue maximum compensation.

  • You can still recover damages under Texas's comparative negligence rule, as long as you were 50% or less at fault. Your compensation would be reduced by your percentage of responsibility. For example, a $100,000 recovery could be reduced to $80,000 if you were found to be 20% at fault.

  • No. Our Fort Worth personal injury firm handles these cases on contingency, meaning there's no upfront cost, and we only collect a fee if we recover compensation for you.
