Relating to the route designation for a permit for the movement of oversize and overweight vehicles that serve a deepwater seaport in a county that borders the United Mexican States.

SB 2841 requires Texas transportation authorities to designate specific, direct routes for permits allowing oversized and overweight vehicles to transport cargo to deepwater seaports in counties bordering Mexico. The bill specifically mandates routes connecting international bridges (like Gateway International Bridge and Free Trade International Bridge) to the Port of Brownsville and the Port of Harlingen, using defined highways such as State Highway 48, U.S. Highways 77 and 83, and Farm-to-Market Roads. It applies directly to port authorities, trucking companies, and transportation agencies managing these routes. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, and aims to streamline cargo movement for border seaports.
