The San Patricio County Commissioners Court announced during its Oct. 6 session that it will hold a public hearing at 9:05 a.m. Monday, Oct. 13 to consider and receive comments on establishing a speed limit on County Road 1876 between County Road 2095 and County Road 2221 in Precinct 3. The hearing will be held in the Commissioners Courtroom.

Why it matters: Establishing a posted speed limit on a county road affects traffic enforcement, signage, and resident safety within the precinct where the road is located.

The announcement was made as part of the court’s public hearing schedule. Court staff asked that interested residents appear at the Oct. 13 hearing for comment; no recommended speed limit value or engineering report was presented at the Oct. 6 meeting.

Next steps: The court will receive public comments at the Oct. 13 hearing; any formal action to set the speed limit would be taken by the commissioners following that hearing.
