Municipalities
The LG and TxDOT must follow state regulations related to maintenance activities and agreements within an incorporated city’s limits. Jurisdiction of highways, streets or roads within an incorporated city rests with the governing body of the incorporated city except on those declared as controlled access highways by the Texas Transportation Commission. TxDOT must enter into an agreement with each incorporated city for authority to construct, reconstruct, maintain, control, supervise and regulate the designated highways within the city’s limits and to establish the responsibilities of the department and the city.
