Since the Texas Amber Alert Network's creation in 2002, DPS has issued 42 state-involved Amber Alerts, and 47 children who were featured in Amber Alerts have been safely recovered.
January 13 is National Amber Alert Awareness Day. The day, named by the U.S. Department of Justice, is meant to remind Americans that Amber Alerts are an important tool in recovering children who have been abducted.
