Default Texas Drivers License Info...

Your Texas Driver's License

This was news to me. And trust me, I got my license out and looked. It's really there!

Something all Texans should know, especially since this has received very little or no publicity.

Your Texas driver's license has a phone number on the back, just above the bar code on the lower left side:

1-800-525-5555. (It's VERY SMALL PRINT , but it IS there.)

This number can be called for emergency assistance on the highway or wherever you might have trouble while in your car.

A service truck will be sent to you. This service is state operated, paid for with your tax dollars.

If you are ever stranded, just call the number on your driver's license....help is on the way.

A state trooper will be sent to make sure all is well. This one is worth passing on especially to all the women you know.

Very good point. Not a slam, but there was a thread on this about this time last year. Reasonable enough for some type of sticky on info...

My relative sent me this and said she called and a particiapting tow truck came and towed her, and did not charge her anything. She said he submits paperwork to the state.....might want to call to be sure. Nice though if someones Wife or GF is stranded knowing there is a number you can call (Non-emergency) and they will even send a Trooper out...
