Precinct 5 seeks Commissioners Court approval to apply for a $100,143 TxDOT commercial vehicle traffic enforcement grant.
Harris County Constable Precinct 5 is asking Commissioners Court to approve a grant application to the Texas Department of Transportation. The grant would provide $100,143.30 for the FY27 Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) focused on commercial motor vehicles. Harris County would need to contribute a matching amount of $21,397.75. The item was introduced on June 3, 2026.
This decides whether Precinct 5 can seek state money to run a commercial truck traffic enforcement program. If approved, county roads in Precinct 5 could see more CMV traffic stops. Residents pay a local match from county funds.
