A new Texas law will limit student cell phone use starting in the 2025-2026 school year. Under House Bill 1481, students won’t be allowed to use phones, smartwatches, tablets, or similar devices inside school buildings during instructional hours.
The law requires all schools to adopt and enforce policies to comply. Texarkana-area schools are currently reviewing their rules and will share more details before the school year begins.
Parents are encouraged to start talking with their children now to help ease the transition and support a more focused learning environment.
