Background and Discussion:
On May 11, 2004, the Commissioners Court approved an amendment to the order prohibiting the operation of motor vehicles on a county toll facility after failure to pay required toll or charge; imposing fees; and adopting administrative adjudication procedures for violation prohibition.
