By passage and enforcement of a city ordinance/resolution, a city may reroute trucks from a certain highway route within their corporate limits to an alternate highway route within their city limits.

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has no legal authority to prohibit the use of any highway by any class of vehicle. In other words, TxDOT cannot discriminate between types of vehicles as long as they are within the weight and size limits established by law. TxDOT's authority is covered in the Texas Transportation Code, Chapter 201, Subchapter K, , "Prohibiting Use of Highway Road.”
