Texas HB5177 regulates toll revenue use in counties with populations over four million, imposing penalties for misuse.

Texas HB5177 amends the Transportation Code to restrict how counties with populations over four million use toll and charge revenues. These revenues can only be used for operating, expanding, maintaining, or administering toll projects or retiring related debt. Any remaining revenue must be distributed, with 30% going to the municipality with over 40% of the toll project's lane miles for law enforcement and emergency services, and 70% to the county for its roads.
