Thu, July 2, 2026 at 9:13 PM UTC The Brief TxDOT and Texas police are ramping up efforts to identify and arrest impaired drivers through July 6 for the Fourth of July weekend. This year's "Drive Sober, No Regrets" campaign honors Carly Beatty, a 19-year-old Texas A&M student from Frisco who was killed by a drunken driver in 2019. The push comes after a deadly 2025, during which driving under the influence claimed 1,254 lives across Texas, including 258 in the DFW area alone.
