New TADD Campaign Underway to Eliminate Teen Texting and Driving in Tarrant County: Who Will Win?



Distracted driving is a deadly epidemic which is sweeping the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Texting behind the wheel is cost people lives - none more so than he youngest and leat experieenced drivers. As a Tarrant County personal injury lawyer, I am incredibly proud to announce that the Anderson Law Firm is sponsorship yet another Teens Against Distracted Driving (TADD) campaign aimed at increased awareness of and cutting down on this hazarous activity.



This past spring, we raised awareness at five local High Schools about the dangers of texting and driving by donating bracelets which were given to students who signed a pledge not text and drive. In the spring, over 5,000 local teens signed the pledge—and received a cool orange bracelet with the phrase I PLDG 2 NT TXT N DRV on it. The bracelet is meant to serve as a reminder to never use cell phones to text or email while driving because it distracted driving is one of the main reasons for car accidents.




The new campaign runs the entire month of October. The school that obtains pledges from the highest percentage of their student body during October will be given a $500 donation from the Anderson Law Firm. The participating schools include: Haltom, North Side, Keller Central, South Hills, Colleyville Heritage, and Richland. The Student Councils at each school are doing the hard work to get the word out and obtain the pledges.

While only one school will be declared an official winner, I believe everyone is a winner who participates—as any attention to this dangerous but growing phenomenon is worth the effort. It only takes a second of looking at your phone while driving to cause a potentially fatal wreck. Haltom High School won the last contest, so it will be interesting to see how the results turn out this year.

We will periodically post updates here on how the contest is going, so please check back!
