Beginning next week, Rio Grande Valley drivers should expect to see more law enforcement on the roads.

They're boosting patrols for Texas Department of Transportation's Summer Sober campaign. It's a statewide effort to keep drunk drivers off the road.

Last year, more than a thousand people died in alcohol-related crashes in Texas. To break it down, that's three people a day, according to TXDOT.

The campaign begins June 26 and runs through July 13 when law enforcement will be looking out for drunk drivers during this time.
