Data Requirements for an Appeal to Design Division

If a property owner or its representative appeals a District decision on an access related issue, the District must promptly provide its position on the issue and sufficient background information to the Design Division. While the data will vary based on the individual request or location, the District's submission of appeal information should include:
  1. District, county, city, highway, and location,
  2. Dated chronology of correspondence, meetings, or discussion concerning the access request,
  3. Participants in the request process, including city, county, developers, consultants, legal counsel, etc.,
  4. Status of municipal platting/zoning requests and any city council actions or resolutions,
  5. Highway layout showing the requested access site and the upstream/downstream roadway system and associated access (including roadway/driveway geometrics if applicable to resolution),
  6. TIA as indicated in Chapter 3, Section 3,
  7. The requestor's proposed access solution,
  8. The District's proposed access solution; and,
  9. District discussion/comments with respect to the access request.
The TxDOT appeal process will determine final resolution of the access request and whether or not the District is to issue the access permit. Once the appeal process is completed for an access request, no additional appeal or dispute resolution will be granted.
