Texas SB2793 allows property owners to plant or replace vegetation in state highway right-of-way to enhance aesthetics or visibility.

Texas SB2793 amends the Transportation Code to establish a program by the Texas Department of Transportation. This program allows owners of real property adjacent to state highway right-of-way to plant or replace vegetation if it enhances property aesthetics or visibility. Owners must bear all costs and use vegetation suited to local conditions. The program restricts planting or replacement to within 500 feet of the property and prohibits interference with public utility infrastructure.
