AUSTIN — Senator Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa’s Senate Bill 1334 has now been sent to Governor Greg Abbott for final approval before becoming law. This bill will give city and county owned toll bridges another funding tool to invest in our port of entry infrastructure. The Texas-Mexico border is a key contributor to the local, regional, state, and national economies of the U.S. and Mexico. Trade between Texas and Mexico has grown rapidly, increasing by 267 percent from $58 billion in 1994 to $213 billion in 2019.
