Texas Enhances Patrols for Labor Day Weekend

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) is asking Texas motorists to use extra caution when driving during the Labor Day holiday weekend.
From Sept. 2–5, DPS Troopers will join law enforcement from across the state in intensifying efforts to cite drivers who disregard traffic laws, including impaired drivers, speeders, and safety belt violators.
“Texans are killed on our roadways every day because of reckless drivers who get behind the wheel after drinking, and DPS works around-the-clock to help prevent these tragedies,” said DPS Director Steven McCraw in a released statement. “During the Labor Day weekend, Troopers will be on the lookout for impaired and dangerous drivers, and we are urging drivers to do their part by strictly obeying traffic laws and finding alternative transportation if they plan to drink.”
During the 2015 Labor Day holiday enforcement period, DPS Troopers made 488 DWI arrests, and issued 8,515 speeding citations, 1,091 seat belt/child safety seat citations, and 1,062 no-insurance citations. In addition, DPS Troopers made 278 fugitive arrests and 224 felony arrests.
DPS offers the following tips for safe travel during the Labor Day holiday:
• Don’t drink and drive — designate a driver or take a cab.
• Eliminate distractions, including the usage of mobile devices.
• Buckle up everyone in the vehicle — it’s the law.
• Slow down — especially in bad weather, construction areas, and heavy traffic.
• Slow down or move over for police, fire, and EMS vehicles as well as tow trucks and Department of Transportation vehicles stopped on the side of the road with emergency lights activated – it’s the law. (When you see fellow motorists on the side of the road, slow down or move over a lane for them too, if it is safe to do so.)
• Don’t drive fatigued.
• Drive defensively, as holiday travel may present additional challenges.
• Make sure your vehicle is properly maintained before your trip begins.

On Saturday June 18, 2016 we were privileged to support a Bike Rodeo hosted by the Pilot Club of Lufkin and Calvary Baptist Church. Kids were instructed in bicycle safety and participated in several riding skill events. Several helmets were given away as well as some bicycles. A good time was had by all.
We were joined by the Lufkin Police Dept., Lufkin Fire Department and several other local sponsors.

We have had several people ask.. "What does a City Marshal do?"
Well, here is the answer!

Duties of the Lufkin City Marshal’s Office:

The Lufkin City Marshal’s Office provides support to the Municipal Court by serving and clearing outstanding Class “C” misdemeanor warrants. Municipal Court has jurisdiction over Class “C” misdemeanor offenses only, (those punishable by fine only). Per Texas Local Government Code, The City Marshal has county wide jurisdiction within the county the municipal court is located. (1)

The Lufkin City Marshal’s Office also provides security in the courtroom during court proceedings, provide assistance to the Judge, City Prosecutor and jurors along with the court staff. (2)

The Lufkin City Marshal’s Office is also responsible for the review of all Red Light Camera violations within the city limits of Lufkin and the issuance of citations. (3)

(1) The Municipal Judge issues a warrant for a person who does not comply with either not appearing for an assigned court date or non-compliance of a court order. Once the warrant has been issued, the person’s information is entered into Omnibase, a vendor for Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), who will in turn deny the person’s ability to renew their Texas Driver’s license. Upon resolution of the case, the Court will advise Omnibase of the clearance and DPS will reinstate the person’s ability to renew their driver’s license.

(2) No weapons of any kind are allowed in the courtroom. A metal detector was purchased and installed to help ensure the safety of all persons in the courtroom. All persons and their possessions are subject to search before entry into the courtroom. There is a dress code for Municipal Court which is enforced: no bare feet, no tank top shirts, no cut-off pants, no miniskirts, no halter or tube tops, no pants or jeans that are ripped or torn exposing the underwear or skin of the person wearing them. Additionally, no baggy pants or exposed underwear will be allowed in the Municipal Court. No T-Shirts with obscene, vulgar, derogatory, drug or narcotic related slogans or images or any image or language deemed offensive will be allowed to enter Municipal Court. All people wearing a hat will remove it upon entering the courtroom. Cell phones and pagers must be turned off before entering the courtroom.

(3) The fine for a Red Light Camera Citation is $75. Failure to pay this fine by the due date will result in an additional fee of $25 being added to the fine. Failure to pay this citation may result in your inability to renew the vehicle registration of the vehicle involved.
