Texas Special Olympics is an organization whose purpose is to “provide year-round training and competition in a variety of Olympic-style sports to children and adults with intellectual disabilities, providing ongoing opportunities to improve their physical strength, demonstrate their courage, experience joy, and participate in the sharing of talents, skills and friendships with their families, other Special Olympics athletes, and the community.”

The event is part of the annual “Tip-A-Cop” charity events held across Texas.
“We hope you all come out to Texas Roadhouse in Temple to support us!” Temple Police said in a social media post.
