Ah yes.
With civil forfeiture belatedly being addressed the revenue state desperately needs a new source of fines they won’t be expected to prove before a real jury.

Was at the Bedford Blues festival this weekend up near Dallas. Garbage cans were emptied when full and people were picking up bottles and stuff left on the grass. They did an awesome job keeping the place clean and the attendees did their best to not litter.
You people that aren’t from Texas, go mind your state’s business. The “Don’t Mess With Texas” program has been a huge success just as our hurricane preparations have been. It is not about state revenue it is about Texas Pride!
We have over a mile of TXDot frontage and since the Don’t Mess with Texas program started, our litter problem has decreased significantly. The frontage areas used to be filled with beer can hustlers, I have not seen one in years... The state used to have road crews cleaning the frontage areas, now there is a monthly cleanup done by civic volunteer groups in the “adopt a highway program”...
And oh by the way Texas does not need to fine its citizens to stay solvent, we do that by limiting our law makers to only three months every two years to look after the State’s business...
Now go mind your states business and leave Texas alone...
