Title:
Department of Transportation Right of Way Division records
Description:
These records include conveyances, maps, and titles for property owned by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Right of Way Division. The Right of Way Division coordinates the acquisition of land to build, widen, or enhance highways and provides relocation assistance when needed. The division also coordinates utility adjustments, and the disposition and leasing of surplus real property owned by TxDOT. The records document these land transfers and date from 1924 to 2017, and undated. The records are part of an ongoing digitization project by TxDOT that has begun with the Austin District; the project will continue with other major-municipality districts and finish with the less populous ones.

Arrangement:
These records are arranged alphabetically by districts determined by the Texas Department of Transportation and in numerical order by a nine-digit Right of Way Control Section Job (RCSJ) number, created by TxDOT to track jobs by location. A similar nine-digit Construction Control Section Job (CCSJ) number, also created by TxDOT to track jobs by location, is used if no RCSJ number is present. There are 25 districts, each consisting of six to 17 counties, documented on the agency's website: https://www.txdot.gov/inside-txdot/district.html .
