re: #361 Dark_Falcon

I see here that it fixed some problems with a previous law, which is good:

Replacement for the “Traveling” Law Passed in 2005~HB 1815 by Rep. Carl Isett (R-Lubbock)/Senator Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa (D-McAllen)
Currently referred to as the “Motorists Protection Act”
In 2005, the Texas Legislature passed a bill establishing that a person is presumed to be traveling if he or she is in a private motor vehicle, is not engaged in criminal activity, is not prohibited by law from possessing a firearm, and is not a member of a criminal street gang. The clear intent was to protect law-abiding citizens’ right to carry a handgun concealed for personal protection in their cars or trucks without needing a Concealed Handgun License (CHL).

Agree with you on the texting law, that seems like a risky distraction with no benefits that outweigh the risks.
