Dangerous street racing and stunting incidents have continued to be a problem in Dallas, with the number of complaints doubling between 2019 and 2020.
Dallas and other major cities lobbied to get a bill through the Texas Legislature that makes it easier for law enforcement to seize a vehicle involved in street racing if the driver causes a death, if the driver is under the influence of alcohol or drugs or if the driver has multiple racing offenses.
