These crashes aren't just close calls. They're reminders of what's at stake every time we get behind the wheel. These moments happen in seconds, but the consequences can last forever. Make safe choices behind the wheel. Every trip. Every time. @TxDPS #EndTheStreakTX
Texas has more than 95,000 reasons to end the streak of daily traffic deaths. Each one is a person who never made it home. Since Nov. 7, 2000, someone has died on Texas roads every day. News release: ow.ly/V6Wi5104blF #EndTheStreakTX #TxDOTNewsroom
"There is no closure in learning to live without your child."
Ashley Rudder's 16-year-old son Ryan was killed by a drunk driver going 101 mph. The crash left families, friends and the community of Baird, TX, devastated. Always get a sober ride. #EndTheStreakTX #DriveLikeATexan
There's a reason it's the law to move over or slow down for flashing lights on the side of the road. Help protect first responders, roadside workers, fellow drivers and yourself. Always drive like a Texan: kind, courteous and safe. #EndTheStreakTX #CRSW2026 #DriveLikeATexan
Move over or slow down when you see flashing lights on the side of the road. Lives are on the line. During Crash Responder Safety Week, we're asking everyone to help protect roadside workers and first responders. #CRSW2026 #EndTheStreakTX #DriveLikeATexan
26 years. At least one person killed every day since Nov. 7, 2000. These losses are 95,000 reasons to drive safely. Buckle up, slow down, drive sober and look out for one another. Together, we can #EndTheStreakTX by driving like a Texan: kind, courteous and safe. #DriveLikeATexan

The National Weather Service has expanded the risk area for severe storms.
State emergency response resources are mobilized to support local response.
Heed warnings from local officials, pay attention to the forecast in your community, and pack a go-kit.
It's Halloween and the end of daylight saving time tonight, which means more people are walking and commuting in the dark. It can be hard to spot pedestrians. Always stay alert, keep your eyes on the road and watch out for people on foot! 🌚

Walking after dark? 🚶🌙 Take a little extra care to keep yourself safe.
Wearing reflective clothing or carrying a flashlight can help drivers spot you on the road. Stay alert and stay visible!

Ghosts, goblins and superheroes are hitting the streets! Help keep them safe by staying visible, using crosswalks and watching for little trick-or-treaters. Get the Halloween safety scoop: ow.ly/bx4n5102eZ6 #TxDOTNewsroom

Slow your roll, folks! Speeding can leave you with less time to react to what’s ahead. Slow down and give yourself enough time to respond when traffic or road conditions change.

Even the tiniest Texans appreciate active transportation! Now is a great time to get out and get active. Consider starting your day by walking or biking to boost your health and mood. Just remember to do it safely! #TxDOTBikePed
