Texas Department of Transportation
Title 43, Part 1
The Texas Department of Transportation (department) files notice of the completion of review and the readoption of Title 43 TAC, Part 1, Chapter 10, Ethical Conduct by Entities Doing Business with the Department, Chapter 11, Design, Chapter 12, Public Donation and Participation Program, Chapter 13, Materials Quality, Chapter 15, Financing and Construction of Transportation Projects, Chapter 16, Planning and Development of Transportation Projects, Chapter 21, Right of Way, and Chapter 22, Use of State Property.
The department received no comments on the proposed rule review, which was published in the February 13, 2026, issue of the Texas Register (51 TexReg 965). The department has reviewed the listed rules and determined that the reasons for adopting them, except for §12.5, Landscape Cost Sharing Program, continue to exist. The department determined that the Landscape Cost Sharing Program has not been funded for several years and is redundant of other programs of the department and, therefore, §12.5 is unnecessary. The Texas Transportation Commission (commission) proposed the repeal of §12.5 at its meeting held on March 25, 2026.
This review and readoption have been conducted in accordance with Government Code, §2001.039.
The commission readopts Title 43 Texas Administrative Code, Part 1, Chapters 10, 11, 13, 15, 16, 21, and 22 and Chapter 12, except for §12.5.
