Texas Road Side 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 tax dollars except you are required to pay for any required service, repair, or tow.

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.

I have family members who have used this service which is good especially with heavy traffic when trying to change a tire, or at night, or in a lonely area; however, there is a charge for any services provided like a tire change, tow, or repair.
