New Sheriff Coalition: Sheriffs from Grimes, Navarro, Freestone, Limestone, Leon, Madison, Waller, and Ellis counties

Issues that the Sheriff’s raise about the high speed rail in Texas?

  • Which law enforcement agency is repsonsible for patrolling the track?
  • “Who’s going to be responsible for hazmat emergency services if it derailed over there?”
  • Has there been a survey of emergency response teams and hospitals along the track, is fire or hospital distance and response impacted?
