Relating to the designation of a weight enforcement officer by a commissioners court in certain counties.

HB 4142 allows certain Texas counties to designate constables or deputy constables as weight enforcement officers. It applies to counties meeting specific criteria: those with 1.5 million+ population within 200 miles of an international border, counties adjacent to a 3.3 million+ population county, or counties with 75,000-90,000 population adjacent to a county meeting the second criterion. The bill amends the Transportation Code to authorize these designations, enabling officers to enforce commercial vehicle weight laws in qualifying areas. The law takes effect September 1, 2025.
