In addition to having a CMMA, each year a maintenance plan must be developed and submitted to TxDOT for approval at least 30 days before the beginning of the fiscal year. The plan shall follow the CMMA for items to be maintained by the LG. Each year the maintenance plan shall be updated and approved by TxDOT.

As specified in the AFA, regular inspections should be made by the LG to determine the condition of the highway in order to establish maintenance needs. TxDOT will make inspections to determine compliance with the maintenance requirements of the CMMA and one-year plan. The standard set in the CMMA may be revised by the one-year plan if approved by TxDOT.
