Public Hearing May 26, 2026

The LCCC held a public hearing on May 26, 2026, to discuss a proposed no through trucks restriction on County Road 2472 East in Liberty County, Texas. The restriction aims to address safety concerns near a school adjacent to the road, particularly regarding LPG trucks. Representatives from Phoenix Energy, Energy Transfer, and Exxon Mobil expressed opposition to the ordinance, citing state law requirements for alternative routes and the economic impact on their operations, including lost sales and access issues. Legal counsel emphasized that the companies have a right to access their property and suggested seeking an arrangement to avoid litigation. No formal votes or motions were recorded during the hearing, which concluded with the court closing the public meeting and preparing for the regular Commissioners Court session.
