Texas SB424 establishes a high-speed rail system connecting Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio, operated by a private entity.

Texas SB424 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 mandates the Texas Department of Transportation to partner with a private entity for the construction, maintenance, and operation of this rail system along the Interstate Highway 35 corridor. The act repeals a previous section related to the rail system and takes effect on September 1, 2025.
