Local resident part of ‘Don’t Mess with Texas’

For more than 30 years, the Texas Department of Transportation’s “Don’t Mess with Texas” campaign has forged partnerships with the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughan, George Strait, Willie Nelson, LeAnn Rimes and Grupo Fantasma to share its important message. Now the search is on for a new amateur musical talent to represent the iconic litter-prevention campaign.
The “Don’t mess with Texas” Song Search Contest has invited undiscovered Texans to compose an original 30-second song, incorporating the campaign’s anti-litter message. The entries, submitted via video, have now been collected online where the public will have the opportunity to vote on their favorites. Among the entries is one featuring a Wilbarger County resident.
