On Thursday the House Transportation Committee heard testimony from those who favor a ban on texting while driving in Texas. The committee did not take a vote on the bill that was filed by Rep. Tom Craddick of Midland. Craddick's legislation would make texting while driving a misdemeanor punishable with a fine up to $99 on the first offense. Breaking the law again would move the fine up to $200.
