An East Texan is now facing child endangerment charges.
DPS says a trooper pulled over Jason Pence last night in Gregg County for going 75 miles per hour in a 55 mile an hour zone.
The trooper says that during the stop Pence took off with his 11- and 4- year old children in the car with him.
Pence was arrested after turning into a driveway.
The trooper says another passenger in the car had an open beer can.
Pence is charged with child endangerment and evading arrest.
