Stronger partnerships = safer communities.

@DEAHOUSTONDiv and @houstonpolice partnered with DPS to dismantle a methamphetamine lab—seizing more than 80 pounds of the dangerous drug!

Drug labs pose a major threat to our Texas communities, and our Troopers are committed to keeping them out of our neighborhoods.

Thanks to the dedication and hard work of local, state and federal partners, these drugs are now off our streets.

ICYMI: DPS has seized over 1 BILLION doses of fentanyl—that’s enough to kill every person in Texas about 31 times!

Texas has made tremendous headway in the fight against fentanyl, but we still need YOUR help to keep our communities safe.

Conversations about this deadly drug are crucial. Talk to your loved ones about the dangers of fentanyl today.

Texas DPS @TxDPS 4d

Today, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) remembers Trooper Daniel Robert Shown and places a monument in his honor at the Waco DPS office.

Trooper Shown passed away earlier this year from complications resulting from a line-of-duty injury. Even after his injury, Trooper Shown remained devoted to inspiring the next generation of DPS Troopers and his unwavering commitment set the example.

We are grateful to everyone that gathered today to honor his legacy.

We want to remind Texans to always stay safe behind the wheel.

Together, we can prevent road fatalities and end the streak of daily traffic deaths on Texas roads. Remember to buckle up, Move Over or Slow Down, drive the speed limit and always find a sober ride home.

TxDOT @TxDOT 4d

It will take all of us driving safely to end the streak of daily traffic deaths. That's why we teamed up with @TxDPS to hand out safe driving tip cards during traffic stops over the next two weeks. Make every mile a safe one. #DriveLikeATexan #EndTheStreakTX
