Amber Alerts now showing up on phone as Public Safety Messages (www.mytexasdaily.com)

Done it twice now, both after the date of this article. What gives? I don't want to turn off Public safety messages, but Amber alerts are notorious for waking me up in the middle of the night for a child kidnapped 300 miles away.

Weird, they show up as separate categories in my phone.

As an aside, I wish I could opt into alerts for neighboring counties only. But, yeah... The state-wide alerts are out of hand.
