House Bill 2541 amends the Transportation Code to authorize the residents of a special district that is located in the unincorporated area of a county with a population of less than one million to file a petition with the commissioners court of the county requesting that county enforcement of traffic rules on county roads be extended to roads that are owned or maintained by the district. The bill sets out requirements for the petition and requires the commissioners court by order to extend enforcement to the roads of the district specified in the petition if the commissioners court finds that granting the request is in the interest of the county generally. The order may grant enforcement of some or all traffic rules requested in the petition. As a condition of issuing the order, the commissioners court may require the special district to pay for all or part of the costs of extending the enforcement.
