The THP and the Tennessee Department of Safety extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and coworkers of Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Sergio Romero, who was tragically killed in a line-of-duty crash. Please keep his family, friends, and the entire Texas Highway Patrol in your thoughts and prayers.

It is with great sadness that DPS announces the death of Texas Highway Patrol Trooper Sergio Romero.

Trooper Romero was attempting to conduct a traffic stop along US-287 near Childress, around 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 17, when a truck-tractor semi-trailer pulled out in front of him, causing his patrol unit to collide with the vehicle. Trooper Romero died on scene.

Trooper Romero answered the call to serve each day with honor and remained steadfast in his commitment to protecting and serving Texans. The DPS family will never forget the ultimate sacrifice he made in service of this state.
