This Halloween, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) are teaming up with Texas A&M Agrilife Extension Service’s Watch UR BAC program to spread awareness on the fentanyl epidemic spreading across the state.
The DEA warns the public of an alarming increase in the lethality and availability of fake prescription pills containing fentanyl and methamphetamine.
International and domestic criminal drug networks are massproducing fake pills, falsely marketing them as legitimate prescription pills, and killing unsuspecting Texans. These counterfeit pills are easy to purchase, widely available, and often contain deadly doses of fentanyl.
