S.B. No. 2513 amends the Transportation Code by adding a new requirement for the Texas Department of Transportation regarding notice for state highway projects. Specifically, it introduces a new subsection (d) to Section 203.022, which mandates that if the department does not receive a response from the property owner within 60 days of mailing the notice, it must make a reasonable effort to locate the property owner and provide notice through personal delivery.

This bill aims to enhance communication and ensure that property owners are adequately informed about state highway projects that may affect them. The new notice requirement is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
