To find out, call Commissioners Court records at (512) 943-1515, contact the Road Dept. office at (512) 943-3330, or find the name of the road in the alphabetical listing of 
Maintained Subdivisions and Roads.

Whom do I call about litter on the roadway?
If a county maintained road has litter or someone has dumped trash on the side of a road, please give us a call at (512) 943-3330 and we will have it picked up. We will also try to find out who dumped the trash on a county maintained road or on the side of the road, and legal action may be taken.

If you are putting up a mail box on a county maintained road you will need to install the mailbox yourself; we do not install mail boxes. We do ask that you not place any large rock or mailboxes in the county right-of-way that will obstruct the view or be dangerous.

How do I get specialty signs installed on a road?
For signs other than normal regulatory traffic signs, you will need to send a letter and or petition with signatures of area residents to our department stating your request and reasons/justification for needing the sign. The road administrator will then approve or disapprove this request. If your request is approved you will need to then purchase the sign yourself and the road department will install the sign if on a county maintained road. For more information please see the sign policy.

You must contact us before you install a driveway. We will come out and look and tell you what size pipe that needs to be installed for your driveway.

culvert regulations.

Who plans new roads?
When the County government plans new roads, the County Commissioners discuss these plans as part of the agenda of
