This morning the Battleship Texas left the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site & headed to Galveston.
Troopers were honored to be there for her send-off 🙏.
The ship will be going through a restoration process.
We appreciate being a part of this historic move!

Since January DPS Troopers have interacted with more than 6,000 motorists for violating the Move Over/Slow Down law.
The simple act of moving over or slowing down could save a life, possibly the life of your loved one.
