well my state and the surrounding states do have bans. but i do not see a whole lotta enforcement goin' on. seems to only get mentioned, in the news, if there is a crash. otherwise, in my local paper, no such tickets are listed as given out. other crimes like murders, arson fires, drunk driving, but texting while driving? seems too much hot air about it, and nothing being done.

Oh ok that must of been what I heard then ,banned for all trks.

The "ban" does one other thing.

Let's say you have an accident . "Texting" is proven. You call your insurance company. They don't have to cover you since you were doing something "illegal".

In short no texting, no hand held use, and you are required to know all of this. Look around that sight and learn the reg's.

AZ, MT, MO and TX.

Texas is the only one with no laws at all regarding texting while driving. The other three have laws restricting it under certain circumstances.

Texas does enforce the no cell phone use while in a school zone. But it should make no difference school zone or not. Texting and cell phone use is hazardous distraction. Was passed in 2009. I live in Texas and see the signs posted.

No state allows texting for trks as it should be but the same law should be applied to 4 whleelers but it's not.
