Episode Details

Texas Game Wardens deployed in full force over the Fourth of July weekend, checking more than ten thousand boats during Operation Dry Water to combat impaired boating. They issued 62 boating while intoxicated citations — the highest in a Fourth of July weekend since 2019 — while thankfully reporting zero fatalities. Still, 25 incidents occurred, including two drownings, highlighting the risks even with responsible behavior. Wardens also responded to collisions, medical emergencies, drug arrests, and even suspected human trafficking. They rescued a kayaker stranded for three hours without a life jacket and collected over 30 donated life jackets to boost public safety. With summer still in full swing, wardens are doubling down on education: wear life jackets, keep operators sober, and heed the weather — because safety on the water starts with awareness.
