Comal County court abandons southern remnant of New Braunfels‑Blanco Road after landowners' Rule 11 agreement

County staff traced the road’s history — the Comal County Commissioners Court selected the crossing in 1904, TxDOT later realigned the crossing to what is now FM 311, and a northern segment had been abandoned previously. Staff said the county received a Rule 11 agreement among adjoining landowners that resolves access and rights for the southern remnant and asked the court to approve abandonment of that segment; the court approved the request.

The staff presentation said the county has not maintained the southern remnant for several decades and that the Rule 11 agreement clarifies which owners will have access and rights going forward. Commissioners approved the abandonment order by motion and hand raise.
