Houston, TX, August 10, 2026 —
The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office has announced a collaboration with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) for a statewide campaign targeting impaired driving. This initiative, set to run from August 14 to September 7, will involve heightened law enforcement presence on county roads.
The primary objective of this partnership is to increase the removal of drivers operating under the influence from roadways. Statistics from Montgomery County reveal a significant correlation between impaired driving and fatal accidents, with nearly one-third of all fatal crashes in the area involving drivers who were under the influence.
During the specified period, residents can anticipate increased patrols. The Sheriff’s Office has not provided specific details regarding the deployment locations or the exact number of additional officers involved in the operation. The campaign aligns with TxDOT’s broader efforts to enhance road safety across Texas through targeted enforcement and public awareness. Further details on the initiative’s specific metrics or outcomes are expected following its conclusion.
