A handful of Texas State lawmakers have launched a new campaign to raise awareness of human trafficking.

When you think of trafficking victims, it's probably little girls. Senator Tan Parker says that's not always the case. He says the public needs to know that boys are being trafficked just as often.

The Dallas-area Republican says Texas is the second-worst state in the country for stopping human trafficking. They're teaming up with the Texas Trucking Association.

Truckers will slap posters on their rigs with a QR code to get more information.
