Starting Sept. 1, it will be illegal for anyone operating a motor vehicle to be talking or texting on a cell phone while driving in a school zone in the state of Texas.
The law was passed by the state Legislature earlier this year.
Unless they are using a hands-free device or making a legitimate emergency phone call, those caught using a cell phone in a school zone could be fined by police.
