Sixteen hundred Texans died from fentanyl use last year. The powerful synthetic opioid is a leading killer of adults between 18 and 45.
Kathy Travis of Flower Mound lost her 25-year-old daughter Jessica Duke last year to the powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl.

Dr. David Atkinson, Medical Director of the Teen Recovery Program at Children's Health, said many teenagers don't realize they're taking pills laced with fentanyl.
