Legal Basis for Naming
Texas Transportation Code,
contains "General Provisions Relating to Municipal Streets."
Sections 311.001-003 grant municipalities control over their streets.
This control extends to assigning street names to highways within
their jurisdiction.
Counties are not allowed to “street
name” numbered highways.
The Texas Department of Transportation
(TxDOT) is specifically prohibited from naming or otherwise designating
a highway, street, or bridge with any name or symbol other than the
regular highway number.
