DPS adopts no warning policy for seat belt enforcement
Texas DPS announces immediate no warning enforcement of seat belt laws, citing 13 years of existing rules. Col. Dudley Thomas urges voluntary compliance, citing past violations and a 1997 study. The policy targets front seat occupants and children, with fines from 25 to 50 dollars plus costs, and a court fee pushing potential penalties higher. Brownfield Police amplify awareness and emphasize safety, while BRMC board plans to discuss 1998 TAAS results and staff changes at Monday meeting.
