Satisfied with the efforts of Ortiz USA, LLC to comply with the conditions of the Special Road Indemnity Agreement and Permit and rules of the road, Grimes County Commissioners Court approved renewal of their permit at the April 17 Regular Meeting. It was renewed only through May 1 and monitoring of road maintenance and speeding will continue.
