The latest campaign from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) isn't just another public service announcement—it's a dire warning. The annual Talk. Text. Crash. initiative is back, spotlighting the deadly consequences of distracted driving on Texas roads. In a startling statistic released by TxDOT, nearly one in six crashes in 2023 involved a distracted driver, resulting in 399 deaths and a staggering 2,793 serious injuries. Texas motorists are being urged to stay alert and keep their eyes firmly on the road.
