Greetings my fellow Texans…<\/p>\n

I have been asked by numerous DARS employees and specialists
\nregarding the complaint of their local Deaf clients who have been
\nunable to contact 211 of Texas through their video phones for ride
\nassistance during threatening weather events (they aren’t able to
\n“dial 211”)…<\/p>\n

What surprises me is that this information has been posted on the
\nTexas DPS website now for nearly 2 years and yet many “deaf resource
\nspecialists” are not familiar with it, so that said, would you please
\npost this link for every Texan that would like to be informed and
\nprepared…they can visit the state’s website that has access to their
\ninformation in ASL, Voice and Text…that link is:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.txdps.state.tx.us\/dem\/pages\/deaflink.htm<\/a><\/p>\n

**For 211 information, scroll down and click on either icon (Deaf
\nLink logo for ASL; Paper for Text format) for the 10-digit number to
\nuse when calling 211 through your video phones. <\/p>\n

Also, AHAS-IN is a FREE program that anyone can sign up for and start
\ngetting alerts and information in ASL, Text, Voice and Braille…equal
\naccess to the same information that the hearing world has.<\/p>\n

You can sign up for that by visiting Deaf Link’s website and
\nsubmitting your information into the State’s database. To sign up go
\nto this link:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.deaflink.com\/ahas\/ahas.html<\/a> (scroll to bottom of page and
\nfill out info boxes then submit)<\/p>\n

If you have ANY questions, please feel free to contact me by email:
\nmikeh@deaflink.com or VP 210-590-7446.<\/p>\n

Thank you and have a safe and blessed day!<\/p>\n
