Ummmm, those are not Christmas lights.

It’s that time of the year again. A time for us to travel and spend time with our friends, families, and loved ones. However, this time of the year does not mean that we can drink and drive. We here at TxDOT and the Texas Travel Information Centers would like to remind you all to drive sober and be safe during this holiday season. From all of us at TxDOT and the Texas Travel Information Centers, we wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays y’all.
