Today marks an anniversary we wish we hadn't reached: 26 years since the last deathless day on Texas roads. If we all drive kind, courteous & safe, we can end this deadly streak. Buckle up, slow down, avoid distractions & always get a sober ride. #EndTheStreakTX #DriveLikeATexan

Nov. 7, 2000 was the last deathless day on Texas roads. Every single day since then a mother, father, daughter or son has been lost to a Texas family in a traffic crash. We need to finally end the streak of daily deaths. #EndTheStreakTX
