A fake Texas highway closure memo is spreading, but all roads remain open despite a real FAA flight restriction.

The Texas Department of Public Safety warns of a fake memo falsely claiming 10-day highway closures in El Paso, stating all major roads remain open. The alert comes after a legitimate FAA flight restriction was issued for El Paso International Airport due to national defense airspace concerns, but officials stress the aviation ban does not affect ground travel. DPS urges the public to verify information through official channels, as the fake memo may be exploiting the real aviation news to cause unnecessary alarm.
