I know this has been mentioned before, but Texas DPS as of this morning, is doing non-commercial vehicle screening at the state line on I10 in Orange. It's taking about 45-60min even with proper paperwork. This is coming from LSP Troop D facebook posts.

No they aren't. This is coming from a Texas DPS trooper.

You must be out of the loop! Plus there are pictures from this morning at the Sabine River I10 bridge, of the checkpoint.

Has anyone actually done the drive yet? Curious to see about the traffic situation in particular. Google doesn’t really show any slowdown, but I don’t know how reliable it is.
On the other hand, it looks like the Texas government just sent out a news release yesterday and every local site just ran the same story without any corroborating information.

You can download the form from the Texas DPS website. Might be a good idea to fill one out and keep it in vehicle, just in case. Are they stopping every vehicle or only those with Louisiana plates?
