Texas Game Wardens Urge Safe Boating This Labor Day Weekend
· Texas Border Business
Texas Game Wardens are urging boaters to prioritize safety during the Labor Day weekend, as hot weather draws many to lakes and rivers. They emphasize the importance of wearing life jackets, with statistics showing that 84% of boating fatalities involved individuals not wearing them. Last year, wardens responded to several incidents, including two fatalities. Boaters are advised to avoid alcohol, use engine cut-off switches, and maintain a proper lookout. Additionally, those born after September 1, 1993, must complete boater education to operate certain vessels.
