Clyde City council adopts ordinance annexing portions of I‑20 and FM 603 right‑of‑way
Summary
The Clyde City Council adopted an ordinance annexing designated right‑of‑way along Interstate 20 and FM 603 after city staff said TXDOT raised no objection; one councilmember abstained because he works for TXDOT.
Mayor Stephen Steele and council adopted an ordinance on Jan. 13 that annexes territory described along Interstate Highway 20 and FM Highway 603 in Callahan County into Clyde City.
City Administrator Rodger Brown told the council staff had reached out to the Texas Department of Transportation and reported no objection to the city annexing the specified right‑of‑way. Councilmember Michael Shellhammer disclosed a conflict and said he would abstain because he is employed by TXDOT. David Mann moved and Aimee Jolly seconded the ordinance; the motion passed with a recorded tally of 4–0 and one abstention by Shellhammer. The transcript records the tally but does not list the individual yes votes.
Why it matters: Annexation of these corridors brings the described parcels inside Clyde City's corporate limits, which can affect future permitting, maintenance responsibilities and service provision along the I‑20 and FM 603 corridors.
What’s next: The ordinance establishes an effective date in its final language. The council did not attach additional conditions at adoption.
