With an 80% increase in synthetic opioid-related deaths reported in Texas in 2021 compared to 2020, the deadly fentanyl crisis is endangering Texans of all ages. The Texas Workforce Commission, in collaboration with the Office of the Governor and other Texas state agencies, is committed to raising awareness about the dangers of fentanyl. Our goal is to develop and share resources with our customers to help end the opioid crisis and fight fentanyl use in the Lone Star State.
