The Texas Department of Public Safety is urging Texans to take extra precautions this Halloween. The agency's tips include choosing safe costumes, staying visible while trick-or-treating, staying alert behind the wheel and watching for pedestrians.
Texas Highway Patrol Chief Bryan Rippee said drivers should stay focused, slow down and watch carefully for children and pedestrians. He said people who are drinking should plan a sober ride home.
Rippee said taking a few extra seconds to make the safe choice can help everyone get home safely.
