Why Are we Here?

Bosque County faces decisions today that didn't exist a generation ago.

Billion-dollar projects are coming. New growth is changing our roads. And the way we govern - the way Texas counties have governed since 1800 - is showing it's age.

What is the Unit Road System?

It’s an option already used by 60+
Texas counties — including our neighbor, Hood County.

Instead of four commissioners each running their own road operation, the county hires ONE qualified road professional to manage roads countywide with a master plan everyone can see. It’s legal under Texas Transportation Code Chapter 252. It works. And it lets commissioners do the big-picture work our county actually needs from them.

To put the Unit Road System on the November 3, 2026 ballot, we need:

  • Approximately 1,000 verified “wet” signatures

  • From registered Bosque County voters

  • Collected in person, in ink, on official petition sheets

  • Verified by the County Clerk’s office

  • Then placed on the ballot for the people to decide

Sunset Over Path

Current System

Four commissioners, one for each precinct. Each runs their own road operation:


• Their own equipment
• Their own crew
• Their own budget
• Their own priorities

 

Roughly 80–90% of a commissioner’s time is consumed by road maintenance. Only about 10% is left for actual policy decisions — including dealing with the billion-dollar projects walking into our courthouse.

Under Unit System

One qualified professional manages roads countywide:

• One master plan, visible to every resident
• Equipment goes where work is needed
• Commissioners still elected by precinct
• Commissioners freed up for real policy


It’s legal under Texas Transportation Code Chapter 252. It works. And it lets commissioners do the big-picture work our county actually needs from them.

Potholes

TODAY

Your road has had a pothole for six months. Your commissioner has 80 miles of road and one broken grader. Two miles away, another precinct has a working crew but no authority to send help across the line. You wait.

Under Unit Road

One administrator. One master plan. Your pothole gets logged, ranked, and fixed when the next available crew is nearby — regardless of which precinct.

Bridges

TODAY

A bridge sits on the line between
two precincts. Each commissioner says it’s
mostly the other’s responsibility. Neither
wants to budget $400,000 for a bridge half
in someone else’s precinct. Years pass. A
school bus crosses it twice a day.

Under Unit Road

It’s a county bridge. The administrator’s capital plan ranks it countywide and funds it as a single project. It gets fixed based on safety, not politics.
