What People Are Saying

 

We must move from a general awareness of fentanyl and its dangers to a knowledge. The only way to accomplish this is through education. Texas Against Fentanyl is a thought leader in driving this information and we will not back down. Human lives are on the line, many of them not even given the opportunity to grow into an adult.

House of Representatives, District 20

“Today [May 9, 2023] the House passed out HB 3908, Tucker’s Law, to help ensure our kids are education about the dangers of fentanyl. This was brought to us by Tucker’s mother, Stefanie Turner, who was with us at the Capitol today. I want to thank her, and the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office, for all the work done so far on this issue and for what will be done in the future to protect children from illegal and dangerous drugs in our community.”
