From TxDOT:

Texans wear their belt buckles with a certain Lone Star pride, but it’s the buckles in their vehicles that could save their lives. More functional thanfashionable, life-saving seat belts first debuted 45 years ago when Lyndon B. Johnson’s National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act and The Highway Safety Act went into effect, mandating that all automobiles have seat belts as a standard feature. To honor President Johnson’s pioneering dedication to safety, the Texas Department of Transportation today launched its 12th annual Click It or Ticket campaign at the LBJ Library in Austin with a car show demonstrating the progression of seat belts through the ages.

From the Texas Department of Public Safety:

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) is encouraging residents to beat the summer rush at driver license offices across the state by renewing their license or identification card early or online. The summer months are typically the busiest time of year at driver license offices, and individuals can avoid the crowds during this time. Residents who are eligible can skip the trip to the office completely via online renewal of their license, identification card or change of address at Texas.gov.

From TxDOT:

As National Work Zone Awareness Week begins across the country, the Texas Department of Transportation has a simple message to motorists across the state: work zones are dangerous.

Think you've heard it all before?

Think again.

"Common sense tells you that between the heavy equipment and traffic moving through a work zone, it would be the workers who were in the greatest danger," said TxDOT public information officer Larry Krantz. "But statistics show that four out of every five fatalities that occur in work zones are motorists driving through."

That's the message TxDOT and the Federal Highway Administration are working together to spread during National Work Zone Awareness Week, which runs April 15-19 both in Texas and across the country.
