law

We know you always obey the seat belt law and buckle up, but just in case you need some encouragement, the annual Click it or Ticket campaign starts Monday, and officers will be looking to hand tickets to unbuckled folks. And what's the rule for the kids and booster seats?

Maybe you've driven by a house and seen a dog outside chained to a tree or a stake.  That situation would become illegal under a new bill before Texas lawmakers, in certain situations.

It's something I can safely say you will never do, and it involves your eyeball.  But just in case you're thinking about it, I'll mention that it's illegal, and I"ll save you some time in court.

I think the real question here is: does Texas need it?

The annual Click It or Ticket campaign starts soon, meaning officers will be focused on passing out tickets to those of us that head down the road without seat belts fastened. The dates cover Memorial Day - one of the busiest and most dangerous weekends to be out on the highway.

Thanks to modern technology, more and more citizens are filming police officers and their actions. Now, Texas Representative Jason Villalba wants that made illegal and yes, as it's currently worded, you could be arrested for it.

It's March, and that means that new Texas law has just gone into effect which will lead to just one sticker on your windshield instead of two. The state inspection sticker is going away, and you'll just get one registration sticker the next time you renew.

Many drivers have bemoaned the cameras installed in intersections that catch drivers blowing through red lights and issue tickets accordingly. But in one New Mexico city, ignoring those tickets is an especially bad idea — doing so could get your utilities shut off.
