Press Release
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and the Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDPS) are again joining forces with police and sheriffs’ departments across Texas to save lives on Texas roads by working to increase seat belt use. Law enforcement officers are stepping up their efforts to ticket anyone who isn’t wearing a seat belt. The annual campaign runs from November 16 — 29, 2020.
Texas law requires the driver and all passengers in a vehicle to be secured by a seat belt. Unbuckled drivers and passengers, even those in the back seat, face fines and court costs of up to $200.
