TxDOT launched its Distracted Driving Awareness Month campaign 'Phones down, eyes up, Texas' on April 1, 2026. The campaign reminds Texas drivers to avoid distractions while driving, citing over 86,000 crashes involving distracted driving last year. The agency references existing Texas law imposing fines up to $200 for texting while driving and is reaching drivers through commercials, billboards, and a mobile driving simulator exhibit.
