Procedures for fencing highway ROW are in Chapter 8 of TxDOT’s . Where additional ROW is not required for construction of improvements of existing highways, ROW (property) fencing is the responsibility of the landowner. Where additional ROW is required, the replacement or reestablishment of privately owned property fences along the ROW is handled as a cost to cure item. Construction, maintenance and ownership of the fence is vested with the landowner.
