Going out this Labor Day weekend?
So are we.🚔
The Round Rock Police Department will be conducting enhanced DWI enforcement throughout the holiday weekend to help ensure the safety of our roadways.
If your weekend plans involve alcohol, please plan ahead for a safe and sober ride home—whether that means using a rideshare service, a designated driver, or public transportation.
Your choices impact not only your own safety but also the safety of those around you.
Plan a sober ride. Never drink and drive.

Both east—and west-bound lanes on Chandler Road between the 130 toll road and County Road 100 are shut down due to a collision involving several vehicles—an 18-wheeler, a refuse truck, and a small passenger vehicle. Expect traffic delays in this area. We will advise when the scene is cleared and traffic is restored to normal.

Heads up, Round Rock—rental scams are on the rise!
Over the past few weeks, detectives have investigated multiple reports of individuals being deceived into paying for rental properties by scammers who have no legal authority to rent them.
These scams typically involve fake rental listings posted on popular housing websites and social media platforms. Victims are often pressured to send money or share personal information quickly to “secure” a property that either does not exist or is being falsely represented.
How to Protect Yourself:
• Visit the property in person before paying anything.
• Verify the property owner through county records.
• Never send money (Zelle, Venmo, wire, etc.) until you’ve confirmed the rental is legitimate.
• Don’t fall for high-pressure tactics like “act fast or lose it.”
• If the rent looks too good to be true, it probably is.
If you believe you have been the victim of a rental scam, please report it by contacting the Round Rock Police Department at 512-218-5500. Additionally, you can report scams to the Federal Trade Commission at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
