56 Truck Drivers Cited for Skipping Weigh Station in El Paso: Why This Enforcement Detail Matters for Your Safety When Trucks Break the Rules, El Paso Families Pay the Price The numbers don’t lie. On February 18, 2026, Texas law enforcement conducted a commercial vehicle enforcement operation at the Loop 375 weigh station in El Paso. The results were alarming: 23 commercial motor vehicle inspections 47 total violations discovered 11 out-of-service violations (vehicles immediately grounded for safety hazards) 7 brake violations (a leading cause of catastrophic truck crashes) 2 weight violations (overloaded trucks create dangerous handling conditions) 56 citations for disregarding weigh station requirements What’s missing from these statistics? The human cost. Every one of those 56 citations represents a truck that was operating outside federal safety regulations—putting El Paso families at risk on I-10, Loop 375, and the border crossing corridors that define our region. At Attorney911, we’ve spent over 25 years holding trucking companies accountable when their negligence changes lives forever. Our managing partner, Ralph Manginello, has seen firsthand how weigh station violations correlate with catastrophic crashes.

Off-Duty Border Patrol Agent Arrested for DWI at Cameron Truck Stop: A Stark Reminder of Law Enforcement Accountability The arrest of an off-duty Border Patrol agent for driving while intoxicated (DWI) at a Cameron truck stop serves as a sobering reminder that law enforcement officers are not above the law—even when they’re off duty.

The incident occurred on February 19, 2026, as the crew navigated dense smoke near Rosston, Oklahoma. The driver lost control, plunging the truck into a canyon.

Off-Duty Border Patrol Agent Arrested for DWI at Laredo Truck Stop: What This Means for Texas Road Safety Every year, thousands of Texans share the road with commercial trucks, law enforcement vehicles, and off-duty officers.

At Attorney911, we’ve spent over 25 years holding trucking companies, commercial drivers, and negligent parties accountable when their actions cause harm on Texas roads. This incident isn’t just a news story—it’s a stark reminder of how quickly lives can change when those behind the wheel fail to prioritize safety.

Off-Duty Border Patrol Agent Arrested for DWI at Laredo Truck Stop: What Beaumont Drivers Need to Know When a Law Enforcement Officer Breaks the Law Behind the Wheel It was supposed to be a routine stop at the Fuel America Truck Stop on Mines Road in Laredo. But for 38-year-old Harley Quesada—an off-duty Border Patrol agent—what happened next would change everything. Around 6:19 p.m. on Monday, February 18, 2026, Laredo Police Department officers responded to a call about an intoxicated person inside the truck stop. What they found was a man stumbling, speaking with slurred speech, and clearly under the influence. Quesada was arrested on the spot for driving while intoxicated. The irony? This wasn’t just any driver. Quesada is a federal law enforcement officer—a Border Patrol agent—tasked with upholding the law. Yet here he was, arrested for the same offense that claims thousands of lives on Texas highways every year. After posting a $1,500 bond, he was released the next day. But the consequences of his actions could ripple far beyond a night in jail. For drivers in Beaumont and across Southeast Texas, this case is a stark reminder: drunk driving doesn’t discriminate.

Every year, thousands of acres burn across the region’s vast grasslands and agricultural fields. But February 2026 brought something different—something far more dangerous. A perfect storm of high winds, low humidity, and dry conditions created a wildfire crisis that scorched over 155,000 acres across four Oklahoma counties and rapidly spread into Kansas and the Texas Panhandle.

Three were hurt when a fire truck from Rosston Fire overturned in western Oklahoma. Another firefighter was hospitalized after sustaining injuries in a separate incident.

Hit-and-Run Truck Accident in Daingerfield: Why This Case Demands Immediate Legal Action Every year, thousands of Texans are injured in trucking accidents. But when a driver flees the scene—leaving a victim stranded on the side of the road—that’s not just negligence. That’s a deliberate act that compounds the trauma and makes justice harder to secure. This is exactly what happened on February 18, 2026, at the intersection of Broadnax Street and Webb Street in Daingerfield, Texas. Around 8:20 p.m., a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle while working on his disabled 18-wheeler, which was parked off the roadway. The victim was injured and rushed to the hospital—his condition still unknown. What makes this case especially egregious? The driver didn’t stop. He didn’t call for help. He left the scene, only to be identified later and taken into custody at his home. The driver has been named as John Dupriest Jr., 65, of Daingerfield. But this case isn’t just about one reckless driver. It’s about a systemic failure—one that puts profit over safety, cuts corners on training, and turns a blind eye to the dangers on our roads. At Attorney911, we’ve seen this pattern before. Trucking companies push drivers to meet…
