H.B. No. 2560 proposes the establishment of an "Adopt-a-County Road" program, allowing county commissioners to enter into partnership agreements with individuals or organizations. Under this program, participants can make donations, gifts, or grants to fund the repair and maintenance of specific sections of county roads. In return, the county is required to install signs to publicly acknowledge the contributions made by the donors. The bill specifies that the commissioners court will determine the minimum amount required for recognition and that any funds received must be exclusively used for the designated road maintenance.

The new section added to the Transportation Code, Section 256.011, outlines the framework for these agreements, including the stipulation that funds can only be utilized for the repair and maintenance of the specific county road involved in the partnership. This initiative aims to encourage community involvement in local road maintenance while providing a mechanism for public recognition of contributions. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
