Fiscal Analysis
  
The bill would require the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDot)
upon request by a county, to send a copy of each permit for the
transportation of a manufactured house to the county judge in each
county in which the transportation ends.
  
  
Methodology
  
TxDot estimated that 127 counties out of 254 would request permit
information. In order to capture the additional data, process and
provide the data to the counties, TxDot estimated that additional staff
and equipment would be needed.
  
  
Local Government Impact
  
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is
anticipated.
