Narrative:

Location: hou. We were told to taxi from gate xx via taxiway east to hold short of runway 12L. En route, we were told to cross runways 12L and 17. The hold lines between the approach ends of runways 17 and 12R are very close together, and while making the 'prepare for takeoff' PA, I taxied the aircraft slightly past the hold line for runway 12R. We stopped, informed the tower, and an aircraft on final elected to make a go around. In that situation, I should not have divided my attention to making a PA while the aircraft was moving.
