TxDOT launches Click It or Ticket campaign for extra law enforcement presence on the road
· KRGV (NBC 5)
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has initiated the Click It or Ticket campaign, which will run from May 18, 2026, for two weeks, focusing on enforcing seat belt laws. Law enforcement will increase patrols to catch unbuckled drivers and passengers. In 2025, 965 fatalities in Texas traffic accidents involved individuals not wearing seat belts, marking a 10% decrease from 2024. TxDOT emphasizes that wearing a seat belt can save lives, with Texas law imposing fines up to $200 for non-compliance. The campaign, part of a broader safety initiative, has reportedly saved over 8,600 lives since 2002.
