If you read the article, you'll note that it says the plaintiff will have to prove the defendant was aware that he was sending texts to someone who was driving.
Here is another thing. How would they prove that the text was the reason for the accident? What if you got a text while driving but never looked at it?

The ability to actually utilize this ruling will be highly depended on the evidence available in the case.
