Wear your seatbelt. It's the law.

All drivers and passengers in the front seat must wear a seatbelt. Failure to do so results in a $25-$50 fine.

You are committing an offense if you are at least 15 years of age, is riding in the front seat of a passenger vehicle while the vehicle is being operated, the seat is equipped with a safety belt and you are not wearing it.

There is a special emphasis on child safety and ensuring that all children who ride in Texas vehicles are properly restrained. New laws require all children to be properly restrained no matter where in the car they are seated.

Texas is a "primary enforcement state", which means that police officers may pull you over simply for not wearing a seatbelt. Police do not issue warnings for not wearing your seatbelt.

In 2006, almost 3,500 Texans died in car accidents. This number has been steadily declining since 2002. Mainly due to the Texas Department of Transportation’s Buckle-Up Texas program, which has been raising driver awareness about car crashes and the importance of wearing seatbelts.

All children under the age of 17 must be secured by a safety belt or ride in a child safety seat.

Child passengers under the age of 12 should ride in the back seat because of the risk of death that airbag deployment poses. Airbags can inflate at a rate of 200 mph. All passengers should be at least 10 inches from the airbag in order to provide a safe area of deployment.
