Delta County SO Warning About ATV And UTVs On City Streets

The Delta County Sheriff’s Office has received multiple complaints concerning children riding four-wheelers, UTVs, mini-bikes, and other off-road vehicles on the City of Cooper Streets and County Roads in and around Cooper. We have tried to address this through warnings and notifications to parents. It doesn’t appear to be working. Effective immediately Deputies have been instructed to write No Driver License citations to unlicensed drivers 15 and older and to write parents tickets for permitting an unlicensed driver to operate a motor vehicle for operators under 15 years of age.

Please help us control this problem.

Licensed drivers may operate ATVs, UTVs, and other off-road vehicles on public streets and roadways under certain conditions. Please refer to the following link for related information: https://www.txdmv.gov/…/buying-or-selling-a…/unique-vehicles.
