COMMISSIONERS COURT APPROVED A PUERTO VERDE MOU ON APRIL 20 — HERE’S WHAT THE MOU SAYS
On April 20, 2026, Maverick County Commissioners Court approved a memorandum of understanding with Puerto Verde Holdings, LLC, and voted to form a committee on the proposed Puerto Verde Global Trade Bridge.
It is a framework, not a construction contract. The document itself says it does not create legal or financial obligations. Binding terms would come in later agreements.
What the approved document says:
• The County intends to hold at least 65% of the bridge and toll operations; Puerto Verde 35% or less.
• Puerto Verde or an affiliate would be managing member, with day-to-day control.
• The County’s vote would be limited to reserved items: sale, dissolution, or a major change in scope.
• Commercial truck traffic would eventually be routed through the new bridge; existing Eagle Pass crossings would be aimed at pedestrians, buses, and passenger vehicles.
• Funding tools on the table include a TIRZ, grants, bonds, and other county mechanisms.
• Puerto Verde would lead forming a Port Authority; the County would get a board seat.
• The City of Eagle Pass is not a party to this MOU. The County reserved the right to invite the City later.
The County is under real budget pressure. The 65% and future tolls are in the paper. So is who would run the company day to day. Both are true.
We are not for or against the project. We are for people seeing what the Court actually approved.
