Subject: Texas driver's license - handy info!

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 is 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 you car. A service truck will be sent to you. This service is state operated and paid for with you 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.
