Shuet Wong was 73 years old, crossing the street at a crosswalk in Houston, when she was struck and killed in November 2024. Her daughter Mabel urges drivers to watch for pedestrians and to help end the streak of daily deaths on Texas roads. #EndTheStreakTX #DriveLikeATexan

San Antonio is in for a rainy day. ☔ Before you hit the road, remember: slower speeds, more space between vehicles, and fewer distractions can make all the difference when roads are slick. Visit DriveTexas.org for the latest road conditions.
We each have our own reasons to get where we're going safely. Since Nov. 7, 2000, more than 95,000 people never came home because of a crash on Texas roads. Let's work together to end the streak. Drive like a Texan: kind, courteous and safe. #EndTheStreakTX #DriveLikeATexan

ALT Severely damaged car wreck on a street at night. 1 out of 3 deaths were caused by impaired driving in 2025.
Texas, we're counting on you. Buckle up, slow down, put the phone away and help us end the streak. This streak won't end on its own. It takes every Texan making the choice to drive safely, every single day. #EndTheStreakTX #DriveLikeATexan
Today marks an anniversary we wish we hadn't reached: 26 years since the last deathless day on Texas roads. If we all drive kind, courteous & safe, we can end this deadly streak. Buckle up, slow down, avoid distractions & always get a sober ride. #EndTheStreakTX #DriveLikeATexan

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
These crashes aren't just close calls. They're reminders of what's at stake every time we get behind the wheel. These moments happen in seconds, but the consequences can last forever. Make safe choices behind the wheel. Every trip. Every time. @TxDPS #EndTheStreakTX
Texas has more than 95,000 reasons to end the streak of daily traffic deaths. Each one is a person who never made it home. Since Nov. 7, 2000, someone has died on Texas roads every day. News release: ow.ly/V6Wi5104blF #EndTheStreakTX #TxDOTNewsroom

There's a reason it's the law to move over or slow down for flashing lights on the side of the road. Help protect first responders, roadside workers, fellow drivers and yourself. Always drive like a Texan: kind, courteous and safe. #EndTheStreakTX #CRSW2026 #DriveLikeATexan
Move over or slow down when you see flashing lights on the side of the road. Lives are on the line. During Crash Responder Safety Week, we're asking everyone to help protect roadside workers and first responders. #CRSW2026 #EndTheStreakTX #DriveLikeATexan
26 years. At least one person killed every day since Nov. 7, 2000. These losses are 95,000 reasons to drive safely. Buckle up, slow down, drive sober and look out for one another. Together, we can #EndTheStreakTX by driving like a Texan: kind, courteous and safe. #DriveLikeATexan

The National Weather Service has expanded the risk area for severe storms.
State emergency response resources are mobilized to support local response.
Heed warnings from local officials, pay attention to the forecast in your community, and pack a go-kit.
It's Halloween and the end of daylight saving time tonight, which means more people are walking and commuting in the dark. It can be hard to spot pedestrians. Always stay alert, keep your eyes on the road and watch out for people on foot! 🌚
