TRAFFIC SAFETY FOCUS
October 2008:

§ 545.062. FOLLOWING DISTANCE

An operator shall, if following another vehicle, maintain an assured clear distance between the two vehicles so that, considering the speed of the vehicles, traffic, and the conditions of the highway, the operator can safely stop without colliding with the preceding vehicle or veering into another vehicle, object, or person on or near the highway.

The below definition is out of the Texas Drivers Handbook.

Following Interval - time recommended to follow another vehicle in the intended path of travel. Select an object near the road surface. When the vehicle ahead passes that object, start counting "one thousand-one," "one thousand-two," etc., until the front of your car reaches that point. For speeds under 30 mph, the minimum time with good road conditions is 2 seconds. For speeds above 30 mph, maintain 4 seconds (more for adverse conditions) of following time. Developing a 4 second following interval is the best practice for a novice driver.
