"No cell phone" signs will be installed in Grand Prairie school zones this March. Once installed, police officers will issue tickets to drivers spotted using cell phones in active school zones. Fines will be up to $200.

The Texas Legislature passed House Bill 55 in 2009 giving cities and counties the choice of whether or not to ban cell phone usage in school zones. In order for this to be enforced, signs must be posted. To be fined, the cell phone must be up to your ear and your vehicle must be in motion when the school zone is active. This means hands-free devices are acceptable and if you are stationary it is not against the law to have your cell phone up to your ear.
