As promised by Mayor Annise Parker earlier this month, Houston City Council on Wednesday will consider an ordinance against texting while driving.
The mayor announced April 1 that she would present an ordinance to the council if the Texas Legislature failed to enact a statewide ban on texting while driving.
Although the Legislature is still in session, the mayor is moving ahead with a measure to prohibit the use of wireless communication devices for texting while driving.
