Currently, six states have banned handheld cell-phone use (which includes text messaging), 18 states have banned text messaging, and 33 states are considering bans on text messaging. You'll need to research the law or the legislation in your state.
While I have not been able to uncover any statistics, it seems that many fatalities around texting are due to running stop signs and include the train wreck in California that killed 25 people. All it takes is one time to run a stop sign and hurt or kill someone to recognize that texting while driving is dangerous. Unfortunately, the results are irreversible. Please reconsider your need to text while driving.
