Is this true?


Your Texas Driver's License

This was news to me. And trust me, I got my license out and looked. It's
really there!

Something all Texans should know, especially since this has received very
little or no publicity.


Your Texas drivers 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.

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. This one is worth passing on especially to all the women you know.

i thought i read somewhere that this was de-bunked. have to look and see where though. it's been a few years. LOL.

just a quickie.

Ha! I tried that once when I broke down. If you aren't "stranded" on the interstate, or are within a city limit, they won't do anything. They will send a car out to sit with you while you are trying to figure something out. It was an aggravating ordeal to say the least. I imagine it also depends on where you are and where they are dispatched from. Each post, or whatever they are called, reacts different.

...better hang on to that motorist club card!
