Honoring DPS Tradition!

Captain Scarbrough of the Texas DPS Conroe District had the pleasure of presenting retired Criminal Investigations Division Lieutenant Brian Jagneaux with his retired DPS I.D. license plate. This plate displays the unique badge number that Lt. Jagneaux wore throughout his tenure at the Department.

When a patrol unit is retired, the license plate is presented to the retired DPS employee who has the matching number for their badge—a meaningful tradition to honor our employees’ service.

Thank you, Lt. Jagneaux, for your service and dedication to the state of Texas!

🐶🏍️ DYK? In Texas, there's no specific state law that outright prohibits a dog from riding on a motorcycle.

But that doesn't mean Fido 🐕 gets a free pass to ride wild! Animals should be properly secured and must never be carried or handled in a way that interferes with the rider's ability to safely operate the motorcycle.

General traffic safety laws still apply, and animal cruelty laws may also come into play if an animal is transported in an unsafe or harmful manner.

So if your four-legged riding buddy is hitting the highway with you - keep control of the bike and make safety the priority.

Ride smart. Ride safe. Even when your passenger has paws.

TEXAS DPS CITIZENS ACADEMY — WEEK ONE 📚🚔

The Texas DPS Southeast Region kicked off our 14th Citizens Academy at the DPS Region II Headquarters. Region Chief Matheson gave our students an overview of DPS functions and responsibilities, and introduced the Majors from all the law enforcement divisions in our region.

Our students got an up-close look at some of our newest patrol vehicles, which are outfitted with the latest technology to keep our communities safe. Then, capped off by a beautiful sunset, the evening concluded with a close-up look at a DPS helicopter from our Aircraft Operations Division.

We are looking forward to all the insightful experiences our 14th Citizens Academy class has ahead over the next 12 weeks!

DKY - the CDL standards are set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) - an agency within the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the federal rules ensure consistent safety standards nationwide for commercial vehicle operators.

These rules aren’t just about meeting federal requirements - they’re in place to help keep everyone on our highways safe. CDL standards ensure commercial drivers receive proper training, meet qualification requirements and are prepared to safely operate large commercial vehicles alongside the motoring public.

🎒 Giving Back to Our Communities

It was a privilege for the Texas Department of Public Safety to assist with the 5th Annual “Men Making Moves” Give Back event in Navasota!

Men Making Moves is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting local youth, including providing school supplies to children as they prepare for the start of a new school year.

Texas DPS is proud to support organizations that invest in our communities and help set Texas children up for success. We appreciate Men Making Moves for allowing us to be part of this great event and for their continued commitment to giving back!

🚗Back to School = Back to Extra Caution on the Road!

With students heading back to class, here’s what every driver needs to know to keep our kids safe:

Around School Buses
🚌 Slow down when you see a bus — kids can dart into the road unexpectedly
🚦 Be extra alert at railroad crossings, where buses are required to stop
🛑 Know the law: If a bus has flashing red lights on, you MUST stop — no matter which direction you’re driving — unless there’s a physical barrier or median between you. A center turn lane does NOT count as a divider!

The Cost of Not Stopping
💸 First offense for illegally passing a school bus: up to $1,250 in fines
🚫 Repeat offenses: possible license suspension up to 6 months
⚖️ Serious injury caused? That can mean criminal charges

A Few More Reminders
🐢 Obey posted speed limits in school zones — always

👨‍👩‍👧 Beyond the road: talk to your kids about safety and situational awareness for emergencies or severe weather this school year. A few minutes of conversation now can make all the difference.

Let’s all do our part to get every student home safely. 💙

To encourage and ensure safe everyday travel throughout the State of Texas, Texas Highway Patrol Troopers continue to conduct increased traffic enforcement in heavily traveled areas, including SH 99 in Fort Bend County.

These enforcement efforts focus on promoting safe driving behaviors, reducing dangerous violations, and helping prevent crashes on our roadways.

Whether traveling across the state or making your daily commute, please do your part: slow down, buckle up, stay alert, and never drive impaired or distracted.

💙 A Badge Number That Lasts A Lifetime 💙

Some numbers are more than just numbers - they represent a career of service, sacrifice and commitment.

County Sergeant Dubose recently had the honor of presenting retired DPS Corporal Ronnie Fykes with his retired license plate, proudly displaying the unique ID number he carried throughout his career. Corporal Fykes was Class A-78 and served nearly 21 years.

For a Trooper, that number becomes part of who you are. It represents the miles traveled, the lives impacted, the long days and nights, and the dedication to protecting and serving the people of Texas.

Though the uniform may be retired, the legacy remains.

Congratulations, retired Corporal Fykes and thank you 🙏 for your years of dedicated service to the Texas Department of Public Safety and to the great State of Texas. That number will always tell a story. 💙
