troopers

Human smuggling and illegal immigration have become increasingly pressing issues along the Texas border, and an election hot topic.

With long stretches of open road in the State of Texas, it's easy to go faster than the speed limit!

Have you known someone who didn't wear a seat belt and died in a car accident? I have.

Wednesday will be one of the busiest travel days of the year, and it's not just carloads of people headed to Grandma's house who will be on the road.  State troopers will be out there too, watching for speeders, drunk drivers, and those who aren't wearing seat belts.

You don't hear about a $1.2 million drug bust very often, but it happened recently, right here in East Texas.

Today is one of the biggest travel days of the year, and state police are out in force making sure everyone is buckled up and not drinking and driving.
