March 18, 2022 – “In less than 12 months (in 2021), DPS crime labs took in 500 submissions of fentanyl. DPS also seized in one year, 288 million lethal doses of fentanyl in Texas,” said Texas DPS Trooper Jason Taylor.
Taylor said fentanyl is an indiscriminate killer, which is coming into Texas at an alarming rate as dealers use it to counterfeit pills. The pills contain toxic levels, and are killing Texans.
“Texas DPS has troopers seizing the substances roadside. Special agents are conducting long-term investigations. Many of those are assigned to HIDTA task forces, and they’ve seized large amounts of fentanyl, and also the pill pressers that dealers are using to make the pills here locally,” Taylor said. “Drug dealers who kill users by putting lethal doses of fentanyl in counterfeit pills and sell them to unsuspecting buyers should know DPS special agents, our partners here, are conducting investigations beyond roadside stops and beyond seizures to put these individuals in jail and bring them to justice.”
