Gov. Greg Abbott eases state inspections at one commercial bridge, as trade remains snarled across the border

Greg Abbott

As part of the deal, Texas Department of Public Safety troopers will stop inspecting every commercial truck on the Laredo-Colombia bridge as long as Nuevo León has checkpoints on its side of the Mexican state's 9-mile-long border with Texas. The state inspections will continue for trucks coming from the other three Mexican states that border Texas.

Another nearby crossing, the World Trade Bridge in Laredo, is open only for commercial traffic and more than 165,000 trucks crossed that bridge each month over the last two years, according to city numbers. But the World Trade Bridge is connected to the state of Tamaulipas, not Nuevo León, so it’s unclear what the future of state inspections will be at that crossing and the 11 others that do not touch Nuevo León.

Congratulations Greg Abbott you're now an Inflation Maker! Kudos for the commercial log jam at the border causing prices to go up.

Lights fire. Takes credit for putting out same fire. Sigh.

Except they are 'NOT' inspecting cargo. They have no legal right to inspect the cargo they can only check the mechanics of the truck. Gov Abbott has done this for no reason. Raising prices, creating delays in an already struggling supply chain.

So GregAbbott_TX tries but failed again to solve a problem. Boy this is a reoccurring nightmare for DanCrenshawTX HoustonTX Texans. Vote BetoORourke is time for new leadership.

Entirely due to the bad press he's been getting...not out of any true well-intentioned and well-thought out decision making on his part.
