The school zone speed limit sign looks completely normal to me, and I'm assuming the cell phone plaque underneath it refers to a local ordinance.  I believe Beeville passed such an cell phone driving ban a couple of years ago, although I can't find any specific reference to school zones.

Some around here in the Buffalo area, too - notices to slow down and not zoom past school driveways, hopefully to avoid collisions...

There are actually many around TX, with various styles.  Too bad there are even more people out there guilty of the offense the sign references.

Is using a cell phone in a school zone prohibited in Texas?

That looks like a normal sign.

Is using a cell phone in a school zone prohibited in Texas?

As of September 2013, it is against the law statewide in TX to use a cell phone for any reason in an active school zone:

Several cities around the state had their own ordinances about school zone phone use prior to the state law passage, but the offenses/penalties varied.

As of September 2017, it is against the law statewide in TX to text while driving:

This one took a bit to finally pass and be law, as governor Goodhair (that would be previous TX gov Rick Perry) felt it was an overstep to regulate it, so he vetoed it during his regime.  The state legislature tried again, and it passed with Perry not there to veto it any longer.

I've seen a few assemblies with red signs "No phone zone with light is flashing".  I saw one today, but there wasn't a good place to stop for a photo.

Maybe her referring to the clearview font used throughout the sign??

Nothing unusual about that sign in Texas. They're everywhere.
