We could go on and on about all the things we do...
The Port of Orange, a deep-water port established in 1916, opened primarily to serve the area’s booming sawmill industry. Today, lumber remains a major export commodity that gets shipped to Galveston, New Orleans, and other Gulf ports.
No one wants to get pulled over for speeding but getting a ticket could be the best possible outcome if you drive too fast on Texas roads. Speeding is the number one contributing factor in traffic crashes in our state. In 2023, 1,456 people were killed in speed-related crashes on Texas roadways and another 5,980 were seriously injured.
Speeding increases the distance you'll need to stop to avoid a crash and increases the risk that a crash will result in severe injuries or death. When you speed, you can also face an expensive fine, court costs, and your insurance rates can go up.
To remind motorists that driving too fast can be dangerous and expensive, TxDOT is partnering with law enforcement agencies across the Lone Star State as they step up their efforts to enforce speed limits during Operation Slowdown July 19 through August 4, 2024. In addition to writing tickets, law enforcement vehicles will spend extra time driving the roads, reminding motorists what a safe speed looks like.

Does this look like anyone you know? Driving at an unsafe speed was the No. 1 contributing factor in fatalities last year in the Tyler District. 72 people lost their lives because someone decided to drive too fast. Please watch your speed. Lives depend on it.
We are proud to be a part of this organization! Over 180 employees from outside the Houston District came to the area to help with hurricane cleanup. They joined over 250 Houston District employees in the effort. The crews were tasked to pick up debris, downed trees, repair damaged signs and signals throughout the district. The crews worked tirelessly on all three tasks since last Sunday evening and continued to work 12+ hours throughout the event. A lot of supporting and logistics employees were also checking employees in and out and keeping all logistics items working smoothly and efficiently. Great job by everyone involved!
