Looking for statistics about accidents in Texas.?

Specifically accidents that may be cell phone use related in Texas. As recent as possible..2007 or 2008?
Anyone know where I can find this info.? Thanks!

You won't. Mainly because the cops don't specify cell phones as a cause and secondly that few if any would admit they were on the phone and that caused the accident. You'll find some accidents that were listed as being cell related but they're no where near the total that actually are.

While not exactly what you ask for, maybe these will help:

Originally, state police officers did not, nor were they required to, collect information about cell phone usage when getting information for a vehicle accident report, but now more and more states have enacted laws requiring police to gather cell phone usage information when reporting a car accident.

Several states such as Louisiana, New Jersey, New Mexico, and Pennsylvania have already approved cell phone driving studies, making the future gathering of cell phone statistics more feasible.
