Texas HB483 mandates the construction of high-speed rail by a private entity connecting Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio.

Texas HB483 amends the Transportation Code to define "high-speed rail" as intercity passenger rail service reaching speeds of at least 110 miles per hour. The bill requires the Texas Department of Transportation to enter into a comprehensive development agreement with a private entity for the construction, maintenance, and operation of this high-speed rail along the Interstate Highway 35 corridor. The act repeals Section 199.003 of the Transportation Code and takes effect on September 1, 2025.
