The dashboard is part of the 'One Pill Kills' campaign, which was launched last year in an effort to combat the fentanyl crisis.
Data goes from 2014 to 2023, and it shows the group with the highest number of deaths is men between 25 and 34 years old.
"More than five Texans die every day from deadly fentanyl, and Texas continues to ramp up our efforts to combat the growing fentanyl crisis plaguing our state and the nation," Abbott said. "Texans must come together to raise awareness of this deadly opioid to our family, friends, and communities, and the data published on this website will help Texans lead the fight against this deadly drug.
"Measuring a problem is an important step in understanding and improving it," DSHS Commissioner Dr. Jennifer Shuford said. "DSHS is in a unique position to analyze and share information about fentanyl-related deaths as part of Governor Abbott’s One Pill Kills campaign. I hope making this data easily accessible will allow Texas experts and leaders to continue to craft solutions to this deadly crisis."Gov.
