Good morning from Terlingua! ☀️
Texas Department of Transportation Presidio/Terlingua Maintenance Supervisor Carlos Mendoza captured this video of Terlingua Creek flowing full after a night of heavy storms. He says he hasn’t seen it like this in years. The creek runs right next to our Terlingua TxDOT office.👇🏼

“The impact killed my dad and brother instantly.”

Drinking and driving can take away a lot more than your freedom. You could hurt yourself or take away someone’s loved one because you chose to get behind the wheel after drinking. Always get a sober ride.

DYK: More than 700 fatalities a year are attributed to unsecured loads nationwide? Texas Department of Transportation is reminding you to sure your load! When you realize something won’t fit in your trunk, it’s not as easy as just tying it to the roof of your vehicle or attaching a trailer – you need to know how to properly secure your load. Do YOUR part to keep yourself and those around you safe on the roadways! Read more: https://www.nhtsa.gov/drive-safe-secure-your-load

Congratulations to the Port of Corpus Christi on completing their ship channel deepening and widening project! The waterways' improvement helps further secure its stature as the #1 gateway for crude oil exports in the United States.

Texans treat the things we treasure with care and respect. Whether you’re grabbing a pecan pie from the bakery or picking the kids up from school, double-check to make sure everyone (and everything) is safely secured.

Buckle up. It’s the Texan thing to do.

Everyone knows Texas is full of unique and historic sites, but one stop in Rusk County is a literal throne from the past. It might not be as pristine as the facilities at Buc-ee’s, but in its day, it got the job done.

Now's the time to make your emergency plan as June 1 marked the start of hurricane season. TxDOT has reviewed and updated evacuation route plans, completed workshops and is in communication with local partners to always be ready for severe weather.

Don’t be a crash test dummy — grandma knows best! Buckle up for yourself and your family. Every rider, every ride. Some people think an airbag is enough protection, but airbags are meant to work with seat belts, not replace them. Excuses won’t save you from a crash or a ticket.

05/30/2025

Congratulations, graduates! Getting a sober ride doesn’t have to be difficult—call a rideshare or a sober friend or family member, or designate a driver before you start drinking. Remember, drunk driving crashes are 100% preventable.

From the runway to the road, summer '25's hottest fashion trend is the seat belt.

A long ride's got nothing on a buckled-up Texan. Stay strapped in and get home safe!
