Over the Memorial Day weekend, May 23 - 25, the Coast Guard will have boat crews on Lake Texoma to enforce recreational and commercial safety regulations. They will also work with state and local law enforcement agencies to ensure recreational boaters have the appropriate safety gear and are obeying all state and federal regulations.
