Default Texas Roadside Assistance

Something all Texans should know, especially since this has received very little 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 OWN HARD EARN 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 too.

This one is worth passing on to all the Texas People you know!

The Texas Roadside Assistance # is also on the Inspection Sticker. I just hadn't noticed it on my Tx Drivig License.

So if you were to get stranded in a restaraunt or something. Make sure you push the truck/car into the highway so they can help you
