For sure in Texas

Did you realize that 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 in Very Small Print, but it Is there.) Many of us have Triple A, or have opted to have roadside assistance available from our auto insurance or included when we purchased our cars, but if you don’t have it, this number can be called for emergency assistance on the highway or wherever you might have trouble while in your car. I’m told a service truck will be sent to you as well as a state trooper to make sure all is well and that it is a service that is state operated and paid for with your tax dollars. If you are ever stranded, just call the number on your driver's license...and help is on the way.
