Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to the route designation for a permit for the movement of oversize and overweight vehicles that serve a deepwater seaport in a county that borders the United Mexican States.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 623.219(a) of the Texas Transportation Code to modify route designations for oversize and overweight vehicles serving deepwater seaports in counties bordering Mexico, specifically in the Brownsville and Harlingen areas. The bill provides more detailed and specific routing options for vehicles traveling between international bridges and port or industrial park entrances, including precise highway and road names such as State Highways 48 and 4, United States Highways 77 and 83, Farm-to-Market Roads 509 and 511, and the East Loop Corridor. The changes clarify and expand the permitted routes for these vehicles, potentially making transportation logistics more efficient for ports and trucking companies in the Rio Grande Valley region. The bill will take effect on September 1, 2025, giving stakeholders ample time to prepare for the new routing guidelines.
