· KRGV (NBC 5)
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has initiated the Click It or Ticket campaign to enhance law enforcement presence on the roads, focusing on unbuckled drivers and passengers. This two-week effort begins on May 18, 2026, with officers actively monitoring seat belt compliance. In 2025, 965 fatalities in Texas traffic accidents involved individuals not wearing seat belts, a 10% decrease from the previous year. TxDOT emphasizes the importance of seat belts, stating they can be life-saving. Texas law mandates that all occupants buckle up, with fines up to $200 for non-compliance. The campaign aims to promote safety and has reportedly saved over 8,600 lives since 2002.
