Since the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an uptick in these activities across the state.
In recent months, the governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, has recently deployed a task force set to tackle street takeovers after a massive crowd appeared in Austin, watching various chaotic and dangerous stunts.
