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.

Spring – March 1st through May 31st – marks the most dangerous season on Texas roadways for alcohol-related traffic crashes. That’s why the Texas Department of Transportation is reminding motorists to line up a P.A.S.S. – a Person Appointed to Stay Sober – because even “buzzed” driving is drunk driving.

In 2011, spring accounted for 26 percent of all alcohol-related traffic crashes in Texas, according to TxDOT, more than any other season.  At the same time, weekends continue to claim too many lives – more than half (58 percent) of all alcohol-related crashes occurred on a weekend in 2011. With spring break and holiday weekends approaching, TxDOT wants motorists to know that consuming just a few drinks can still impair a person’s ability to drive, and it has launched a public safety campaign to let them know of the effect alcohol has on driving.
