Be sure to keep your four-legged friends safe. Texas heat can turn deadly fast, and even that “quick stop” can put your pet at risk. Never leave them behind in a car unattended. 🚫 #RoadTripSafety #TxDOTTipThursdays #SummerTravel #PetSafety

Sunday evening update: Night shift has reported in to their sections. Overnight tonight, crews will be conducting de-icing operations. Focus will primarily be I-35, I-14, I-35W and I-35E. The frigid temperatures have kept icy conditions present on roadways.
