New Program For Police Interaction With Disabled Persons

Gov. Greg Abbott has announced a new, first-of-its-kind program to help law enforcement interact “more appropriately and successfully” with people with communication challenges or hearing impairment. The program is called “Texas Driving With Disability,” and it gives Texans an option to note communication impairments on their driver’s license and vehicle registration. Law enforcement personnel will also receive training to better interact with people with communication challenges.
