TX Attorney General Opinion. Truck Weight Enforcement

In KP-0245 there was a question about how local law enforcement can enforce truck weight enforcment. Here’s the big picture:

  • Maybe there is some confusion, but its likely the Transportation Code Chapters 621 & 251 governs, so follow those rules
  • Local Law enforcment has to be authorized by TXDOT
  • TXDOt can also revok local law enforcement authority
