Request for approval of an order approving proceedings to authorize Harris County, Texas, Toll Road Senior Lien Revenue Refunding Bonds, including the preparation of financing and offering documents; approving the engagement of professionals in connection with the foregoing; and making other provisions regarding such bonds, and matters incident thereto.
Harris County may replace existing toll road debt with new refunding bonds to lower interest costs, with a vote set for August 6, 2026.
Harris County Commissioners Court will consider approving Toll Road Senior Lien Revenue Refunding Bonds on August 6, 2026. Like refinancing a mortgage, refunding bonds replace older debt with new bonds to lower interest costs. The order also covers hiring legal and financial professionals to prepare bond documents. HCTRA operates a 103-mile toll road network in Greater Houston, including the Sam Houston Tollway, Hardy Toll Road, and Westpark Tollway, all funded through toll revenues.
Harris County may replace existing toll road debt with new bonds. This affects how toll road revenues are spent on debt payments, which could influence future toll rates or road maintenance budgets.
