A private agreement is required when a TxDOT traffic signal or lighting installation encroaches upon private property.

The district coordinates surveys and negotiates with affected parties when developing the agreements. The proposed agreement is forwarded to TRF for additional review.

The TxDOT Right of Way Division (ROW) performs a final check and may execute the agreement on behalf of TxDOT.

No work should be started on private property until the property owner has been furnished a fully executed copy of the agreement.
