Relating to a permit authorizing the movement of certain vehicles transporting an intermodal shipping container.

It requires these permits to be limited to highways in the state highway system located in counties with over 90,000 residents and within 30 miles of the Texas-Arkansas border. The bill directly affects commercial trucking companies moving shipping containers across these designated routes. The amendment to the Transportation Code takes effect September 1, 2025.
