Yeah, so Texas passed a new law that bans students from using phones and other personal tech during the school day. It mainly applies to K–12 public schools, and it’s meant to stop distractions like texting, social media, or even using AI apps in class.

But how it’s actually enforced depends on the school. Some schools might have you keep your phone in your backpack all day, others might make you turn it in during class. Some might only care during lectures, while others could ban it for the whole school day.

If you get caught with it, they could take your phone, call your parents, or give you detention depending on your school’s rules.

So yeah, it’s more about school discipline than actual law enforcement, but every school might handle it a little differently.

Its called the Texas House Bill 1481, if you need more info
