Texting while driving isn't illegal in Texas
Remember when a driver in Texas admitted that his texting caused an accident that killed 13 people? That wasn't illegal.
Odessa is the largest city in Ector County, and Midland is the largest city in Midland County. A small portion of Odessa extends into Midland County, and together the two cities make up the Midland-Odessa combined statistical area. The cities are located on the southwestern edge of the Llano Estacado in west Texas. The cities' economies are closely tied to the oil industry. Midland International Air and Space Port is located about half-way in between the two cities and is the first US facility licensed by the Federal Aviation Administration to serve both scheduled airline flights and commercial human spaceflight.
Interstate 20 passes through Odessa/Midland on its way to Dallas/Fort Worth. Texas State Highway 158 runs from Goldsmith to Ballinger, connecting Odessa to many small towns in the area. Texas State Highway 349 connects Midland to many cities in western Texas.
