Texas – The Texas Department of Public Safety recently honored a fallen trooper with the dedication of a memorial highway in his name.
The tribute was made to commemorate the life and service of a trooper who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.
The trooper began his career with DPS in July 1968, serving the people of Texas with dedication and courage.
Unfortunately, his life was tragically cut short on September 29, 1981, when he was shot and killed after stopping a subject for a traffic violation.

This dedication not only honors the trooper’s legacy but also reflects the commitment of DPS to the brave men and women who serve the state.
Those who knew him described the trooper as a true hero, who worked selflessly to protect others.
The memorial serves as a way for the DPS community to keep his spirit alive and ensure his bravery is never forgotten.
The highway dedication was a somber moment for all involved, reinforcing the continued respect and admiration for the trooper’s contributions.
Though he may no longer be with us, his legacy will endure, serving as a symbol of the sacrifices made by law enforcement officers every day.
