Relating to notice requirements on state highway projects.
Texas Senate Bill 2513 amends the Transportation Code to strengthen notice requirements for state highway projects affecting property owners. It requires the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to make a "reasonable effort" to personally deliver notice to property owners if no response is received within 60 days of mailed notice. This change directly impacts property owners near highway construction sites by ensuring they receive direct notification if initial mailings go unanswered. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025.
