Summary
Killeen cannot run red-light cameras. Texas Transportation Code 707.020 bars every local authority from operating a photographic traffic signal enforcement system, and the Texas Attorney General enforces the ban statewide.
Sec. 707.020. PHOTOGRAPHIC TRAFFIC SIGNAL ENFORCEMENT SYSTEM PROHIBITED. (a) A local authority may not implement or operate a photographic traffic signal enforcement system with respect to a highway or street under the jurisdiction of the authority. (b) The attorney general shall enforce this section.
Full Breakdown
House Bill 1631 outlawed automated red-light enforcement across Texas effective June 2, 2019, adding Transportation Code Section 707.020. It states a local authority may not implement or operate a photographic traffic signal enforcement system on any street under its jurisdiction. That strips Killeen of any power to install or run red-light cameras, and no camera-issued citation can be enforced against a driver. The Texas Attorney General, not the city, enforces the prohibition. Killeen intersection violations are handled the traditional way: a Killeen Police officer must witness the run and issue a citation in person.
Violations & Fines
No civil penalty exists because the cameras are illegal. Killeen may not mail camera citations, and any such notice carries no legal force against a vehicle owner.
