BELL COUNTY, Texas — The Texas Department of Public Safety held a dedication ceremony for a part of I-35 to honor a fallen DPS trooper.
The department dedicated the road portion for DPS Trooper Thomas Nipper, who was killed during a traffic stop on November 4, 2017.
"He served the citizens of Texas longer than I've been alive. I'm 43, about to be 44, and he served two-thirds of his life wearing a badge and a gun and protecting total strangers and that was his calling," said Sgt. Bryan Washko with Texas DPS.
