General Requirements
The two main elements required for ROW mapping are the TxDOT ArcGIS geodatabase template (populated with the schematic and surveyed parcel features) and property descriptions (preliminary and/or final signed and sealed).
- To expedite the acquisition process, parcels or small groups of parcels must be submitted as they are completed.
- ROW Project Delivery staff will coordinate with District ROW mapping staff to set the priority of the submission of parcels.
All property descriptions must be prepared, signed, and sealed under the supervision of an RPLS.
- The surveyor is responsible for the boundary analysis of the proposed ROW parcels and preparation of the property descriptions, and surveyor's reports.
- Expansion of the right of way over a navigable stream requires a permit from the General Land Office.
