Road Maintenance Hearing Set
The Glasscock County Commissioners’ Court intends to adopt a county road map that will include each road in which the county claims the continued existence of a public interest and a right of access and egress for maintenance. This map is available for public inspection at the county judge’s office in the courthouse.
The commissioners’ court will hold a public hearing Jan. 24 at 10 a.m. in the courtroom of the courthouse. At this time, any person asserting a private right, title or interest in a road may appear before the court to object or protest the county’s claim of its right to continue maintenance of the public roads depicted on this map. A person may also file a written protest with the county judge at any time before the hearing.
By way of this procedure, the county makes no claim affecting title, acreage, or ownership of the land, but only asserts a maintenance easement upon the surface of the land.
Editor’s Note: the material above was taken from a Public Notice, which was mailed with 2006 tax statements. Approximately 91 roads and streets were listed in the notice.
