What are the official measurements of FM road right-of-ways? And are they the same state-wide?
Needing to fence along one of these and there no markings or whatever.
Can't answer your questions but the area engineer that works for TxDot probably could. Get in touch with the local TxDot office and they could lead you to him.
They can vary greatly depending on design speed, road width, when/where they were built, etc. Your best bet is to contact your county appraisal district which should have your property survey. Sometimes this stuff is online, but usually just a basic parcel map. TxDOT is the next step.
Working for a local government I deal with ROW's every day. While there are some standard sizes, 50', 60', 80' etc. there are many that are odd ball sizes. 55', 68', 125' etc. And a ROW can even be variable (60' at this corner, 50' a block away). Your best bet would be to contact TxDot. They should have ROW maps that give the ROW width for all of their roads. You may also be able to locate something on their website. I've had limited success locating TxDot plans online while designing water and sewer projects.
I have seen where a landowner still owns the ROW. One is south of Mirando City. Not good when you are placing a utility on what you thought was public turns out to be private.
