I’ll have to go look up the video.

Thing is, it is illegal in Texas for a driver to use a handheld phone while in motion. The usual way this goes is the cop can’t see the device use but can see the failure to maintain vehicle control. They pull the car over, the driver has dropped/hidden/tossed the phone away from them to avoid the phone use charge and denies they were using it. Well, if you weren’t using a phone, you must be drunk, so here’s your free DUI exam and charge.

The “while in motion” verbiage intrigues. I wonder how many statutes allow for phone use while stopped.

Is it illegal?

I know if in a school zone it is, hospital zone (I think) but no other places. Driving down the street, the interstate, wherever, legal.
Please provide the relevant Texas Motor Vehicle Code citation where is says driving while using a cell phone is illegal.

Thanks.
