Summary
Texas is facing a deadly surge in drownings—with seven reported in just one week—prompting urgent safety warnings ahead of the Fourth of July. Game Wardens are sounding the alarm, urging everyone to wear life jackets, properly fitted for kids and strongly recommended for adults. They’re discouraging risky rescues and promoting throwable flotation devices and fire extinguishers on every boat. This weekend, “Operation Dry Water” will enforce sober boating and proper safety gear, with penalties for boating under the influence matching those for drunk driving. Wardens want you to have fun—safely.
