Maverick County Sheriff Tom Schmerber is asking the community to be patient as school begins and traffic becomes heavier in school zones.

Schmerber said the Maverick County Sheriff Department will be patrolling and enforcing all corresponding laws including the no cell phone use law.

"We will be enforcing the laws. We need people to be careful,” said Schmerber. “I want to make it clear that when a bus stops, you need to respect the laws and stop until the bus has cleared children crossing, and the bus is ready to move forward."

Schmerber saiddrivers must obey all traffic laws and respect school zones.

"We will be ticketing anyone that violates and does not follow the law,” said Schmerber. “We want you all to be safe, and start and end the year without any tragedies."

 Early Monday morning, an incident occurred by International Bridge II in which two young men were arrested for reckless driving. Luis De Luna Zertuche (DOB 2/4/94) and a passenger who has not yet been identified were driving into the US from Mexico when De Luna began speeding and doing donuts. The two were later detained when Eagle Pass Police Officers were sent to the location after being notified of the incident.

A video released earlier this week has drawn attention to the problem with people driving recklessly on school property, especially in places where there is heavy pedestrian traffic.
