Heading into the Fourth of July holiday, the Texas Department of Public Safety will increase the number of Texas Highway Patrol Troopers as part of Operation CARE and Operation Holiday.
Operations CARE — Crash Awareness Reduction and Effort — and Holiday will take place over the weekend, the DPS recently announced. DPS troopers will be on the road looking for speeding drivers, intoxicated drivers and those not wearing their seatbelt.
“Celebrating the Fourth of July and our nation’s freedom is a joyous time, but we must take our responsibilities on the road seriously,” DPS Director Steven McCraw said in a statement. “Please remember to drive carefully and obey all traffic laws to ensure everyone can enjoy the holiday.”
