When an Agreement is Not Required

A written agreement is not necessary when:
  • the traffic signal, safety lighting or continuous lighting system is installed by TxDOT in an unincorporated area completely within TxDOT right of way, or
  • a minute order covers the responsibilities of both TxDOT and the city, and the city has passed an ordinance or resolution accepting the minute order of the Texas Transportation Commission. A minute order may be used in lieu of an agreement depending on the level of detail addressing the responsibilities of each entity.
