S.B. No. 2513 amends the Transportation Code to enhance notice requirements for state highway projects. The bill introduces a new provision that mandates the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to make a reasonable effort to locate property owners and provide notice by personal delivery if no response is received within 60 days of mailing the initial notice.

This legislation aims to ensure that property owners are adequately informed about highway projects that may affect their property, thereby improving communication and transparency in the planning process. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
